Guy on an ebike turning right from Euston Road into Upper Woburn Place hit by a minicab heading west this morning.
I was just behind a box van being held on red light heading north out of Upper Woburn Place and had no direct view of the impact but heard the minicab driver's horn going for a while before I heard the impact so I'm hoping it was low speed. That right turn is light controlled so one or the other should definitely not have been where they were.
Police were there really quickly in about 2 minutes and ambulance about a minute after that. The guy was being attended to by several people and someone had moved his bike before I even got to the front of the queue of traffic and could see what was going on.
I saw the family/group who were the passengers in the minicab just walk away from the scene on foot before po-po arrived. The kid was in hysterics but dad seemed really anxious to get away which I thought was a bit surprising.
