I cycled past this within a couple of minutes (I'd say) of it happening - paramedics had only just arrived and the road hadn't been shut yet. It looked so awful (even though I didn't look directly) that it made me cry. There were two buses pulled over (the police were using them as columns as they were in the process of taping shut the road), but there was also a long truck with scaffolding poles on it pulled over - the mangled bike was right by this - so could have been either. I didn't look at the cyclist, but there were paramedics everywhere, and it sounded like they were using a defibrillator(?) - not a good sign. Awful, awful. My thoughts are with the cyclist.
