2013-04-30 - Rider Down, Oval

Mangled bicycle, massive tipper and red bus, lots of fire truck and an air ambulance today at between 9-10am

oh shit. fingers crossed. but air ambulance doesn't sound good.

Fucking Oval

I never seen a tipper that big before.

It's a complete lock down, the entire stretch along the park is closed, I'm sure lots of reports spreading around in twitter.

Young woman, long, high sided vehicle. Anyone surprised?

Thank fuck she's alive, that tipper freak me out.

Hoping for a full and swift recovery.

Jesus.

Thank fuck she's alive, that tipper freak me out.

333 Bus no ?

Just passed the scene. Really hoping for good news and for a fast and full recovery.

Ross Lydall at the Evening Standard has sent these tweets within the last half hour:

TfL investigates after woman cyclist in 20s in crash with 333 bus, Kennington Park Rd 930am. Taken to King's College Hosp with leg injuries

TfL unable to confirm whether cyclist and/or bus were on cycle superhighway at time of collision. Both were heading south on Kennington PkRd

Let's hope these reports are correct and her injuries aren't any worse than it currently appears.

333 Bus no ?

Tipper was alongside the bus.

friend of mine saw it. Said was horrific. Legs broken, people trying to lift bus off her. :( Hope she'll be ok... isn't this where the 'superhighway' is? what a joke that is...

Yep, not known if it's happen on it or outside it (mangles bicycle was lying on the middle of the three lanes).

Regardless it's a poorly designed infrastructure that shouldn't exist.

This sounds horrible, I hope she's ok.
Was this a crash with a bus and a lorry or just a bus?

Look at #12

What colour bike Ed? I cannot get the Mrs to answer her phone.

Yellow.

Thanks

Goodness me.
Sounds awful.

Sending the rider thoughts and strength.

hope the rider pulls through.
