2014-11-24, rider down/fatality, commercial road

BBC reporting a 32 year old male cyclist was killed at 10pm last night by a hit and run driver who may have been racing another car at junction of commercial road and Cavell St. This makes me so angry. RIP http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-30189092

Angry isn't the word. Reports indicate that the driver was 'racing' and of course failed to stop.

Awful news

Just heard this. RIP rider, hope they find the scum responsible.

This is truly awful. Thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of the young man cruelly and unnecessarily killed.

Sad news. RIP rider

Surely the most CCTVd nation in the world must be able to find the driver.

they seem to not work when its convenient.

Truly awful news.

My condolences to the friends and family.

Very sad news. RIP rider :(

"Witness Sally Dunstone tweeted: “Terrible accident involving a cyclist on Commercial Road. If you cycle in London always wear a helmet.”"

Sigh - why always the helmet talk/victim blaming.

RIP cyclist.

Crazy. Literally 5 minutes from my flat on a road I go down every day - brings it right home.
RIP rider.

A Metropolitan police spokesman said: "A car that was suspected of being involved in the collision has been located but officers would still like to hear from any witnesses to the incident."

RIP Rider

RIP.
A tragic tragic waste of a life.

RIP
Our hearts are with your loved ones.

Angry doesn't cover it, such a waste for such a stupid reason. RIP.

sickening,

.. and concerning to read in the Standard article,

Another resident, who asked not to be named, said: “You get people racing each other all the time along here. It’s a really dangerous road at night.

“It was inevitable that something like this would happen.”

would like to see policing resources being used to address this situation; far too easy to be in the wrong place at the wrong time when people are racing cars on urban streets, :-/

RIP.

Horrible news. RIP rider.

Thoughts going out to his friends and family.

Genuinely hate riding on this road everyday.

RIP rider.

Horrific waste of a young life. Even sadder, Ashad was a friend of a friend - everyone is devastated by the loss.

Very sad. RIP.
