This morning at 8:30

Ambulance and police present, driver talking to police, bike on the side, front wheel completely f***

Rider probably in the ambulance by then, hope she/he is ok, fingers crossed

Well, the mall can be quite a fast stretch of road - can imagine someone joining from horseguards may get caught out

Or they assumed the car was turning left into horseguards but didnt, or it was indicating but it didnt actually turn left

Or a car pulling a U turn at that little island to turn away from trafalgar

its also twice the width of a normal road, with no roadmarkings.

I don't even look when i filter left into the mall.

Apparently "there is no point in speculating about what might have happened." Apparrently, we are just supposed to wish the injured party well. Because apparrently their relatives might be reading this thread. Because of course, their relatives would have no interest whatsoever in why their loved one might've been injured.

Hope the rider is ok and that the ambulance was just precautionary.

There IS no point speculating on what might have happened. Witness information is entirely different.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
