Another Lorry Fatality?

[Bromptonaut]

Colleague based in Peckham/Camberwell heavily delayed yesterday by an accident in Peckham High Rd. Road closures bus diversions etc.

She believes it was a cyclist caught under a left turning container lorry. Not much on Google but some posts on other boards corroborate her observations.

Anybody know more?

I hope the cyclist pulls through.

According to Roger Stocker, Southwark Cycling Officer:

"TfL will also be trailing a 'trixie mirror' scheme that I have been trying to implement – this is a mirror installed on traffic signal heads to enable HGVs to see down the side of their vehicles. I saw this in Bern, Switzerland many years ago."
