2010-03-18 - Rider Down, Gracechurch Street

A bit like this but even smaller radius tyres and lower cab...

I would love to see them on the road.

I must be wrong about this accident, Ill trawl the news sites to find what I did see, hopefully it was nothing serious.

Rode past after the ambulance had taken the rider away the copper said it was not fatal, the bike was still under the lorry, looked mangled.

(Doesn't need to be as funky either)

Loving the rotating windscreen wipers.

Not as cool as your avatar.

'OBEY MY DOG!'

So any news on the rider? I didn't like the look of that bike...

Earlier today I spoke with the press officer of the London Ambulance Service. He said:

"We received a call at just before 11.30am about a road traffic collision on Gracechurch Street, involving a lorry and a cyclist. We sent one single responder in a car, an ambulance crew and a duty officer to the scene. Staff treated one patient, a woman believed to be in her twenties, who was taken to Royal London Hospital with a serious leg injury."

I am awaiting a reply from the City Of London Police press office on the question of whether the driver - or anyone else - was arrested at the scene and whether there will be any legal proceedings.
