https://twitter.com/tfltrafficnews/status/621225790362025984Given that road has reopened, most likely a serious or lucky but slight outcome for the rider.

That episode of An Hour to Save Your Life is on the iPlayer. Not for the faint hearted, but Janina's family appear towards the end and utter respect for them in sharing so much so publicly. I only hope it helps focus a few minds on avoiding such tragedies.
It appears that both the lorry drivers that ran over Janina Gehlau and Victor Manuel Ben-Rodriguez at Ludgate Circus will appear in court.
RIP.

Post on twitter shows a photo from FaceBook claiming it was fatal. No confirmation but I would only expect to hear something tomorrow. I hope merely serious, social media reports are usually very unreliable.

Notable that they've taken her to St George's which is a major trauma centre. Nothing else I've heard locally, but hopefully now in the best of care.

Kensington High Street reopened after 12PM

A few tweets agree that it sounds serious. Road still closed at 11AM, apparently. Tweets I won't post here mention helmets, so suspect head injury. Really hope this isn't as bad as it could be.

Someone I follow on twitter posted this:
> There is someone lying in the road surrounded by blood next to a tipper truck at Aldgate
And another eyewitness posted this:
> Looks like a female cyclist got hit by a skip lorry. Just fucking awful. Too many cyclists dying on our streets.
No confirmation of outcome or parties involved as yet, but authorities confirm they've closed the road.
> AldgateHighSt- closed between Mansell St & Houndsditch due to traffic accident
Let's hope there's still time for trauma care to do something.
