Shit. RIP rider and I hope the injury to the other heals up quickly.
A bit more news here: http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/148528
It's a terrible bridge for cyclists, and yet both me and my girlfriend both have to ride over it to get to work every day. The road is too narrow for many of the vehicles, and the side of the carridgeway is distorted (into vertical lumps) and broken up meaning that you either have to own the lane (often not possible when it's already snarled up) or sneak around small gaps. Not much scope for changing the road layout given the historical significance of the bridge, but one solution might be to ban HGVs, buses and other wide vehicles from crossing?
