MP knocked off bike by driver making “illegal U-turn” across protected cycle lane in central London Lilian Greenwood was left with “bumps and bruises” and a broken Brompton after incident yesterday evening cycling
An MP has taken to Twitter to share photos of her ripped tights and crushed bike after she was knocked off it by a driver making what she described as “an illegal u-turn” across a protected cycle lane in central London yesterday evening.
Posting to the social network, she said she felt “very lucky to have walked away with a sore knee, bumps, bruises and torn tights” following the collision, which left the rear wheel of her Brompton buckled. Very grateful to the pedestrians who came to help, called the Police and looked after me until they were sure I was ok. And to the Met Police Response Officers who were brilliant. Feeling very lucky to have walked away with a sore knee, bumps, bruises and torn tights.
Among those who wished her well was London’s walking and cycling commissioner Will Norman, and in her response to him, Greenwood highlighted that even when trying to follow what should be the safest cycling route from A to B, referencing Jon Stone’s excellent London Cycle Routes series on YouTube, the safety of people on bikes ultimately depends on the actions of motorists.
