Husband of my wife's colleague, feeling very sad at the moment.

Sad to hear :-(

Hope he'll make it!

There's a thread here on the mylondon news site ...

https://www.mylondon.news/news/east-london-news/cyclist-fights-life-after-hackney-27521937

... but it doesn't add much information. There are two photographs there, one apparently of the ambulance attending the crash, but it's not clear if it actually is at the scene of the crash. It shows drivers backed up in the north-westbound lane, but it's not clear if the crash happened at the Great Eastern Street/Curtain Road junction.

The reporting sounds very worrying, and here's likewise hoping he'll pull through.

Sadly, it is mentioned in this article about the death of Harry Webb in Kenworthy Road that the victim of this collision in Shoreditch has also died.

It also emerged on Tuesday that the male cyclist in his 40s who was seriously injured in a collision in Shoreditch on August 14 had not survived his injuries.

The crash happened at the junction of Great Eastern Street and Curtain Road. He is believed to have died more than 30 days after the collision.

His death has been recorded by TfL on its list of road deaths in the capital, which now number at least 88 people in 2023, including seven cyclists.

No further details as of yet, but perhaps there will be a follow-up. @NurseHolliday, could you perhaps add 'fatality' to the thread title? :(

Sorry I didn't update, I was aware that he had passed away through my wife. It's been very sad.

Really sad reading this :((

Thoughts and prayers with his family, friends and work colleagues

So sad. RIP rider love to their friends, family and your wife @NurseHolliday

Police investigating the death of a cyclist following a collision with a Tesla in Shoreditch, east London, have released an image of a man they want to trace.

The victim died in hospital a month after he was critically injured on Great Eastern Street, Shoreditch, around 5.55pm on Monday, August 14.

More than five months later, detectives investigating the incident are still trying to trace another cyclist, who is thought to have interacted with the Tesla driver shortly before the fatal crash.
