Waterloo Bridge closed earlier.

On Twitter Laura_B_R reported cyclist hit by car, she didn't think car had stopped.
Southbond side, Waterloo end.

This has been confirmed to be a pedestrian and car.

Not that the detail changes things for the people involved.

Went passed this at about 6pm. Lots of cyclists stopped and my heart sank. Of course, still doesn't change the fact that someone was hurt, but pleased it wasn't cycle related, especially after the Kings Cross fatality earlier today. It was just before the bus stop before the roundabout. Ambulance on scene and saw the casualty being taken into it.

Hope cyclist heals up ok, had to cycle across the bridge today and wondered what happend. Didn't see much just a people-carrier (probably minicab) parked in the middle of the road and traffic police walking around it.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
