Shit.

Left-turning lorry again.

I cannot type obscenities here but... obscenities!
I hope this is not as it seems. Best wishes and hopes that everyone is safe.

Now confirmed as a fatality. How many more? FFS

no official citation but twittersphere suggests fatality

Confirmed in Met Police press release.

Rest in peace.

No no no, something has to change. Utterly appalling.

This makes me feel so unbelievably sad for all those affected by the recent deaths. :0( Wondering if we can start a cyclist lead campaign to report dangerous driving to police? Somehow use this as a catalyst for change?
