Backstop

On my way in to work today and the bottom of Kilburn rd is completely taped off. 10 police vehicles, two lorry cabs (no trailers) and ominously one shoe in the middle of the south bound lanes.

Didn't fancy stopping for any details from the police on site but best wishes to whoever was caught up in the middle.

hoping there was not a bike involved, does not sound good.

Backstop

Apparently it was an elderly lady (on foot):

RIP

A woman has died after being in a collision with a lorry in Kilburn.

I find the neutral "collision" wording odd, as if an old lady walking with a stick is somehow an equal party to a lorry. This is not meant to speculate on circumstances, but it highlights the frailty of one vs the other.

RIP.

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.
