Not wanting to be reactionary but there was no van or vehicle of any kind, smashed or otherwise, on that bit of road as I rode through at 8:35 (Whilst they were taping up all four sides of the cross road).
i went through at the same time and didnt see anything either. all of the roads going up from farringdon road to leather lane were shut off too
