2013-09-04 - Rider Down/Fatality, Thurlow Park Road

Worrying report on Twitter from @Southwark_news about a poss cyclist vs HGV fatality on Thurlow Park Road in Dulwich.

Can anyone confirm...?

TFL also confirm there was an RTC at this location this morning.

Does this count as a citation?

No, we need 2 separate news sources, twitter is specifically excluded due to it's ability to turn rumours into fact.
I'll start chasing for information now.

I just saw this on twitter - can't confirm - needless to say i'm worried the worst has happened again and thinking of anyone who might have been involved.

This is very close to home. Not looking good but I'll wait for official confirmation.

Can confirm this is a fatality. RIP female cyclist :-(

Oh dear. R.I.P

Always too soon. RIP lady cyclist and thoughts to friends and family.

Can confirm this is a fatality. RIP female cyclist :-(

We still need links to citation if you can help.

Looking like it's confirmed...
Tom Cheal is Political Editor for LBC

It will probably be in the Standard later as Justin Davenport their Chief Crime Editor has already been tweeting about it

Standard article now live.

R.I.P rider.

Not again - Too close to home this.

@BBCTomEdwards has just confirmed it on twitter too :(
RIP rider.

Oh FFS. How terribly sad.

RIP.

Saw the Evening Standard article via Twitter, black logo time.

Rest in Peace.

I feel for the family, the timing will mean it will be a political football and a cold stat, when no-one should forget it's a woman, a person, a human.

RIP Rider. Just when I thought we'd seen the last of the black logo, at least for a while.

RIP poor woman, our thoughts for family and friends. Too sad to think about.

Rip

Yards from my rugby club where I have been doing a lot to try and get the guys more into cycling.

RIP fellow rider - thoughts to family and friends.

RIP rider. t's on my way home - I will stop and leave some flowers.

That part of the South Circular is horrid to cycle on. Obviously there are no details but lots of schools back today and traffic was much busier today than it has been in recent weeks.

So sad. Horrible day for lorry related news. Thought are with the poor bereaved
