I just heard that the air ambulance attended an injured cyclist in Pimlico this morning.

Fingers crossed rider is ok

I echo that, hope they're OK... Lots of crazies on the road today, I came over Vauxhall Bridge and through Pimlico this morning, it wasn't the most pleasant part of the journey...

Well, if the air ambulance was called it's not at all likely that they're OK, but hopefully it's not a fatality.

If it was a fatality, at the scene at least, they wouldn't bring the heli. Think it's safe to say (s)he was in a bad state but was in hospital within minutes. Here's hoping, I cross that bridge every day since I moved to battersea.

My housemate Kat saw the immediate aftermath of this, which is on her commute. Cyclist apparently had obvious head injuries and a visibly broken leg. The car driver who'd hit him was crying and talking to the police. Kat is of the opinion the junction is poorly designed at that the car probably SMIDSY'd the bike; I'll see if I can get the details out of her.

To echo the views of those above, I hope the air ambulance is a sign the rider survived.

Anyone able to clarify which junction?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
