Rode past this at around 3.40 this afternoon.
I have to say the response from the emergency services was outstanding. Two major roads closed at the beginning of Friday rush-hour, lots of vehicles and officers on the ground from both the Police and Ambulance service, and what appeared to be a very thorough investigation taking place.
This is a level of response I have noted at several accident sides I have (sadly) been in the vicinity of recently.
I must also note, with great disappointment, that many of my fellow citizens seem to think it appropriate or acceptable to photograph, film and tweet about the victims of these accidents even while they are suffering and in pain. It is not appropriate, so get fucked.
My thought tonight are with the rider, stay safe.
