morning report of female cyclist hit by van at around 7.40am while turning right into Queen Victoria St at northern junction of the dreaded Blackfriars Bridge

police in attendance... witness thought she was likely headed to A&E

crash confirmed on Twitter...Fingers x-ed she isn't badly hurt

That right turn is really dangerous, crossing 2-3 lanes of fast-moving traffic. The whole junction needs redesigning but 20mph would be a start. Please support next Wed's London Assembly Motion:

I currently work round the corner from here and a colleague reported that a cyclist had been hit but had no further information apart from it hadn't looked very very serious.

The lady who was hit is a Dr, and the Chair of the Royal College of Practitioners.

I think she had a lucky escape. The LCC went out and videod her after the collission, talking about why it is so important to make Blackfriars Bridge a better place for people:

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:

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.
