Rider down with police and ambulance in attendance this morning at 0900ish

Torrington Place WC1 cycle lane, an incident with a silver golf.

Rider was on the ground being attended to. Rider is a South East Asian.

I hope the rider is fine.

You can tell he was SE Asian?

Not the place for petty discussions as the post above, IMHO.

A colleague of mine says he saw the aftermath if this, but I'm afraid I don't have any additional information to expand on the OP. My colleague did say he thought the injuries looked serious but the rider was being treated at the scene. I sincerely hope we see a good outcome from this. If anyone has citation or reference please do add it.

I went past at about 8.52am, the ambulance had just arrived. All I can add was the silver car was coming out of Huntley Road to the north of that cycle lane. Hope they recover soon.

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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.
