Is the coach/bus one definitly a fatality?
Mile end collision drfinitely is.
Is the coach/bus one definitly a fatality?
Is this the one on Southampton Row/New Oxford St.
I really hope not, I was going past as she was being attended to. Someone on Twitter reported it as a fatality but on FGSS it said she was taken to hospital.
I feel a bit sick - F***
Not sure - I just saw it on Twitter.

Update: the driver was drunk. Really sad story. It'll be on my mind whenever I cycle or drive that route.
Edit- sorry, realise this repeats the facts of the op. Gives further personal detail though. There was a minute's silence at the park run on Saturday so brought back to my attention.
Another young woman at the wheel too, and drunk! Again!
So sad, poor bloody kids!
Chap at work was collected the Sunday before in Rotherham, broken tib, fib, femur and shoulder. I guess you could say he was lucky but his lower leg is a right mess with external cage thingy. Something needs to change.
