2008-07-29 - Rider Down, SE1

I am hearing that a cyclist, possible a messenger, was critically injured at More London SE1 this morning.

Haven't heard anything bill sorry.

I heard that too.. I think it's one of our buildings. When I asked if it was cycle/moto messenger though, they told me it was a moto guy, carrying packages (walking) and was hit by a truck crossing the access road.

Nasty.

When you say our buildings, which one are you in?

I'm in Portland House... you ever venture into the Stag?

(edit. got my building's post code mixed up)

sad news.

I'm over near Liverpool St. Portland House isn't one of ours.

there was an air ambulance outside Southwark Crown Court between 9-10 this morning, but I only noticed when the helicopter was taking off, so don't know any details.

Yeah, I am getting news that the guy was still alive road-side, but died later.

Anymore info would be really welcome.

briefly asked a 'more london' security person what happened

he said it was an accident in the ernst & young loading bay, which is below street level, between a cycle courier & some sort of HGV

sorry didn't ask for any more detail

The rider later suffered a cardiac arrest after being run over by the lorry in the loading bay/ car park
