I don't know too much about how the accident happened and didn't want to ask him too much about it as he had been through enough but I think that's how it happened. HGV turning left and the cyclist was probably caught in its blind spot. I think the damage to the bike seems to fit this sort of crash too.
Yeah I know I'm really glad we didn't have another fatality it could have been so much worse. I'm very surprised and of course relieved that he made a full recovery and had no lasting injuries as by the sound of things it was a very severe crash.
