2016-06-04 - Rider down/fatality, Aldwych

I was following the foldie race in The City and reports have started about a serious incident, I think at the roundabout bit by the RAF church:

Due to a collision at A4 Strand, Aldwych has been closed at Fleet Street. Traffic is flowing well.

End quote. I'm sorry I don't have a proper citation.

Went through Aldwych 45 mins ago - still closed off and 3 (I think) bikes in the road. Hoping all are ok.

This is a friend of mine, they were on a charity Bmx ride as we do a few times a year. He's critical in hospital. Please send strength to Dan.

Positive thoughts going out to Dan, get well soon.

So sorry to hear this :( Wishing Dan a full and quick recovery.

Fingers crossed that Dan makes a swift recovery.

Sending some love to Dan Cash..
Be strong brother

Read about this on radbmx. So sorry to hear, thoughts going out to Dan, wishing him a full recovery.

Been wondering about this all day - more positive thinking going out in Dan's direction.

My understanding from things I'm seeing on Twitter are that things are not good.

Trying to find something official though.
Here's hoping...

Sad News

Ross Lydall is reporting on twitter that they passed away.

That confirms what I was seeing sadly.
