Just gone past and there is one ambulance, one police car, a bicycle and a toyota Celica sitting stopped at the southern exit of E&C roundabout. The police were taking notes from a very animated female driver, the cyclist must have been in the ambulance. I am hoping that due to the lack of fuss it is nothing serious.
Without casting too many guesses on to the incident, from the way the vehicles were sitting, it looked like the car was turning off the main roundabout towards brixton or camberwell and seemed to be half way across the lanes so hit the cyclist with her left front wing. She would have been coming from Borough High Street and the cyclist from New Kent road so I think one of them might have jumped the lights.
One thing is sure, I saw no lights on the bike and not that it makes it their fault but be safe on these dark mornings people.
my thoughts go out to the rider, heal up.
