Towards the Camden end of Camden Road (near Camden Road Overground) at around 8:45am this morning.

Looks like it had just happened as I went past, as there was no sign of an ambulance yet, and what appeared to be a cyclist covered up by a blanket in the middle of the Northbound lanes was being attended to by a police officer and Sainsbury's staff. I couldn't tell if he/she was conscious. Traffic was stationary Northbound, and an HGV pulled up on the Southbound side.

Any more info? Twitter yields nothing. Hope it's not too serious...

9:42 this morning there was an ambulance in the middle of the road and one at the left hand side with police waving traffic through.

HGV (tipper lorry) was still parked up on the southbound side.

There was an MTB propped up against the wall, but it didn't look damaged from the quick glance I gave it.

Went through 5-10 mins before rhowe - cyclist was lying in the road still and being attended to by paramedics. Didn't look too serious so lets hope for the best.

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

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

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