My girlfriend has just mentioned that on her way into work (around 9.30/9.45) she saw two riders down one on the Hyde Park Corner roundabout and the other down constitution hill in front of Buckingham Palace.

Ambulances were in attendance at both and there were no stopped vehicles or police so its not clear what might have happened (i.e. hit and run/heart attack or something else...)

Hope they are both ok. The chap at Buckingham Palace was on the pavement getting treatment. The other person was already inside the ambulance...

Heal up fast.

Well at that least that sounds positive! Hyde park corner can be a nightmare.

Hello,

Not fully confirmed yet, but I believe the Hyde Park Corner incident is a colleague of my sisters.

Details are sketchy, but it seems that a bag got caught in a wheel and she has a fractured elbow, shoulder and cheekbone.

Thanks for your concerns and I'll hopefully update tomorrow.

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.
