I saw the same incident Jim, posted about it below

I was on a bus at that junction a couple of years ago when a cyclist was taken out by a lorry. Fortunately I wasn't looking in that direction so didn't see the incident itself, but the immediate aftermath was horrible.

I don't work in that area anymore, so don't often go past, but it's something I always think of when I do. Today was the first time I had walked past in about 2 years, so was very shocking to see something had happened again! Starting to think I'm cursed or something.

        I think pedestrian barriers so you can only cross at the crossing would help a bit (n/m) (General Chat) - Jim, Oct 20, 11:44:16

        They just seem to plonk them in and then realise problems after the event (General Chat) - Jim, Oct 20, 11:45:09
