2011-02-04 - Rider Down, Elephant & Castle, Northern roundabout

I passed through there about 10 minutes ago and saw a bike, an ambulance and three police cars. I'm hoping that because the ambulance was sill there that whoever was involved is still OK.

That number of police cars is a little worrying though...

Anyone else see anything else?

Jesus, 4th day in a row. February's not a good month at all.

Was just about to post this, I must have ridden past a little while after you (9:15ish). Just to update, at the time I rolled through there was one police 4x4, and one ambulance at the scene.

one police 4x4, one police estate and a stopped silver astra/similar as I rolled by, 9:45. Was hoping it wasn't the aftermath of a rider down :(

Happened just after 9 I think. Saw the bike and it looked messed up. Hope the rider was ok. Police seemed to be talking to the car driver when I passed through in a calm and relaxed way so I would hope this was no casualty.

fingers crossed for the rider

Awful, i hope the rider is ok. Im going to e&c soon so will see if i can find out if the rider is ok if anyone is still about

Another possible rider down at the elephant just by the collage I rode passed about 2pm guy on a stretcher paramedic and ambulance crew in attendance there was a raleigh team banana bike proped up against the railings thankfully the rider was conscious and talking to the paramedic couldn't see any other vehicles involved.

Fucking christ, what a mess. I think imma go via Trinity Sq/Roebuck tonight.

mind the bunnyhop gate of death, they have added an extra gate just to be extra annoying.
