Corner of Farringdon Rd and Roseberry Ave around 12.45 today.
Rider was unconscious on the pavement after collision with a lorry. Intensive care ambulance was on the scene trying to resuscitate him, but I only really saw twitching.

Anyone have any updates on this? Really hope this guy's alright.

A cyclist has been hit by a lorry on Farringdon Road, near Mount Pleasant - emergency services just left. I'm told he's okay.

Hopefully the latter part of that holds true.
Best wishes for the rider.

I rode past as they were putting someone onto a stretcher. The bike looked fine, so he must have been knocked clean off it. Didn't realise it was so serious. Hope you pull through mate.

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.
