Get well, Dan.

WP, pass on best wishes to Dan; hope he's back on a bike soon. Sounds like a close shave.

HYD, huge condolences to you and you colleages and the motorcyclists family. I often tell my children off for saying it but; it's just not fair!

Horrible day yesterday. Hope all involved are doing ok as you can in such a situation.

wow, what a relief to hear he's stable. hope he heals up well and fast.

Heal fully and fast

heart wrecking stuff, really hope he pulls through

Just saw this in the Hackney Gazette. Shocking as ever.

Hang in there, Dan.

It's a shocking week.
All our hopes and wishes are for Dan's survival. Condolences for the friends and family of biker at QM.
I used to live on that corner in Dalston, it's always been nasty there.

Hey all,

I'm his flatmate.

Thanks a lot for all your messages of support.

It helps, and I'll pass on the well wishes to his family later.

Best,

Joe

Best wishes to all family and friends, including those reading. Let's hope he pulls through and makes a good recovery. My thoughts are with him, and you.

This junction is just down the road from me and that left turn onto Kingsland Road is never nice.

Fuck. Best wishes and condolences to all involved in both incidents.

my thoughts go out to all involved x

None of the news outlets have as much information as lfgss

Really really unsure about how it feels to have 'conversational' exchanges from here presented as hard news in the broader arena. Is that entirely responsible journalism? Out if the context of the forum it seems morbid and unnecessary... Or am I being over sensitive? Fingers crossed for good news soon.

what everyone else said. Fight hard, pull through and heal up, Dan.

Wishing Dan all the best.

I have serious concerns about the press publishing this information. Dan has a right to privacy re his injuries and treatment.

This is really difficult. We all want to bring as much information as we can to forums like this, for the sharing and support we find here.
Taking information away for a wider audience is a different matter. I am trying to comment on this week's crashes for our e-newsletter. Sometimes the less you say, the better.

I am shocked they went ahead and published that, unbelievable.

Someone needs to put a stop to that and right quick.

soulless ghouls. get your shit together if you're on here.
