There are some reports it was a hit and run, according to twitter.
I'm really not surprised, I've been nearly hit there numerous times by vehicles that do not use their indicators and push through the roundabout when traffic lights are giving other entry points into the roundabout priority. As I tried to go around the cordoned off area and enter the roundabout on my green light I nearly got taken out by trucks and vans pushing in from the side. Which is probably how this cyclist got mowed down. And all this in front of a police officer who couldn't care less.
