Came home from work to see lots of flashing blue lights on the crossroad by my flat. And a bike propped up against the wall and a cyclist being strapped on to a stretcher.
The guys name (I think) was Arran and he was riding a black aluminium specialised roadbike that was a few years old.
He was strapped onto a stretcher and in a headbrace but the police told me it was precautionary. I agreed with the police to look after the bike but they came back and took it too the hospital with him and it appeared fine other than a mashed front wheel.
Heard the police talking out of earshot of the driver (who judging by the positioning was totally to blame) and they were looking at delaying him, from what I could tell not because of the accident but for something else hat they were waiting to hear back on so hopefully they were trying to nick him for something more serious.
Not pleasent to see that so close to home.
