Comment claiming fatal

Just saw this on facebook. Hope its not another fatality.

Some cause for optimism, looks like road was only closed for a couple of hours going by TfL Traffic updates.

TfL confirming accident closed road.
TfL reopening road.

Also without any official or journalistic sources despite all comments saying cyclist may have been a pedestrian.

Fatal allegedly

"condition unknown"

Non-life threatening injuries. Phew!

Not fatal, it would appear.

Leg Injury according to the Evening Standard

I was at the scene just after it happened, Looked like a light Blue bike had been caught between the island and an arctic type flat bed lorry. Bike was totally destroyed.. As of 13:00 I was told the rider was injured only..

Not fatal, it would appear.

Thank fuck for that , obviously don't want to be insensitive but was it a cyclist trying to filter between a railing and lorry?

was it a cyclist trying to filter between a railing and lorry?

From what I could see and if the police had not moved the bike??, The bike would have been inline where the trailer hitches to the cab. It was a bloody massive arctic the type that would carry a number of large JCB's. There are no railings at the scene but a raised island and it looks like the bike was going up the inside of the lorry as it turned off the high road..
