I arrived just after it happened. Massive Boots HGV. It was a woman who was hit (30s I would say), riding a Scott mountain bike. The bike was utterly destroyed. Both wheels shredded, frame flattened, BB axle sheered off with crank still attached. Suspension forks broken in half. Never seen a bike trashed that badly.
I too am hoping for the best. She was conscious, and appeared to have suffered leg injuries, but obviously could be many other things too. She didn't seem in too much distress luckily, but that could have been the shock.
Nasty narrow junction there where the road splits and there is a feeder lane from bus lane. I believe bikes are supposed to stay out of the bus/ feeder lane which always strikes me as a bit counter-intuitive. There is a CCTV camera right in front of where it happened so the police should be able to figure out what went wrong. Didn't seem to be any direct eyewitnesses. Fingers crossed.
I hope she makes a speedy recovery.
