Just seen this report of a possible hit and run incident in Enfield. A 26 year old male cyclist was found lying unconscious on the side of the road with serious injuries: http://www.guardian-series.co.uk/archive/2013/06/03/News+%28news%29/10458511.Crash_leaves_cyclist_with_serious_head_injury_and_fractured_shoulder/

Sounds bad, but check out the comment below it. Don't know what to believe now?

                This isn't strictly what happened.

The driver and passengers remained at the scene, assisting the police throughout, and it was one of the passengers who called for the emergency services.

A young male first-aider initially attended to the cyclist with the assistance of a passing motorcyclist until a paramedic arrived, closely followed by an ambulance crew, and the police.

The road was closed whilst traffic officers surveyed and investigated the scene, then checked the vehicle involved.

It appeared that the cyclist was struck by the nearside front bumper, and impacted against the upper nearside of the windscreen, front pillar and wing mirror

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

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