2013-12-10 – Motorbike/Pedestrian Down, Tower Bridge

Reports of "serious collison" on London Bridge. Lots of emergency services in attendance, initial reports say motorcycle and bicycle.

Edit: could yet be ped down.

Different reports in @SE1's twitter feed: https://twitter.com/se1
One witness said a motorcycle and a male pedestrian were involved.
Best wishes.

I've heard it's definitely a pedestrian.

Thoughts going out to them. Sounds quite bad.

Either way I hope it's not as dramatic as I looked. Those leaving work take it easy - the whole area is now a mess of impatient lorries, tourist buses on a re-route and lunatic cyclists. Take your time folks.

it was Tower Bridge, shut down completely 1-2 hours ago.

Definitely motorbike involved, as I saw one being scrapped from a ground, just south side of a bridge.
I passed it later about 30 minutes ago and it was all back to normal.
