Lets hope she is ok.

I passed by in the van moments after it happened, saw the mangled bike and my heart sank for a second. Police closed all the surrounding roads for hours after so realised it had to be pretty bad

Good (ish) news though, on the way home just now I asked a PCSO and he said the cyclist had a broken hip and leg, apparently it could have been much worse, hope they recover soon

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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.
