2013-08-05 - Rider Down/Fatality, Archway Road, Highgate (London)

RIP

There may have been no collision here other than the cyclist and tarmac. It will be interesting to see if we can learn anything about how this happened.

Given that the news outlets are reporting a collision between a lorry and a cyclist, that seems unlikely, unfortunately

Horrible news. I live a few hundred feet from there and ride past that spot each morning with my son. How that could happen on a straight before cars can park is beyond me.

Will be in my thoughts tomorrow morning for sure. RIP :(

On that part of Archway road the signs suggest that parking (for 1 hour) is allowed 7am to 7pm. We don't know if there were any cars there, or a bus in the bus stop.

Quite right Charlie. I was thinking it was the same as further up near the tube. Do you know the best way to stay informed on the investigation, inquest etc?
