Cyclist hit by a white van Sunday morning along Mangrove Road, road still closed when I was there later on in the day. Looks like it happened along the straight bit where the road zig-zags, hedgerows either side. Odd place for a crash. The copper said the victim had a broken pelvis and arm but had taken a turn for the worse at the hospital. News reports now say he's been transferred to a London hospital and is 'critical'. It only occurred to me later that my ex neighbor fits the description so am trying to get in touch! Grim situation, hope he pulls through.
Damn that sounds really bad, hope the poor guy pulls through
Police are trying to trace a driver following a collision that left a 19-year-old man with a broken ankle.
Yep doesn't sound good, I ride that road quite a bit and it has a few blind corners. The driver did stop in this instance.
I could see two police vehicles from where I was at the road block, they were at the eastern end of that straight section so that tight bend is probably where it happened.
Was it a mountain biker do you know? I often use that road to get upto Broxbourne Woods.
Not sure, but given the time of day my guess is roadie.
