You know what, I think that is the junction. I did a Google Street map of the road on reading of the fatality, to try and piece what could have happened / assess the risk of it. However, I never picked up that part.
jamie johnson said:A woman cyclist has died in a collision with lorry on the Victoria Park Road roundabout during the rush hour this morning (10 March).
London Ambulance Service paramedics attended a traffic accident involving a bicycle and a tipper truck shortly after 8.30am today at the junction between Lauriston Road and Victoria Park Road in South Hackney.
A 27-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene. The lorry driver was taken to hospital suffering from shock.
Tributes paid to Bristol-raised singer Shivon
Tributes have been paid to a singer from Bristol who was killed in a cycling accident in London.
Shivon Watson, 28, died on Wednesday last week when she was hit by a lorry while cycling in Hackney.
Her partner Gus Pirelli said the musician, whose stage name was Shiv Lizzy, grew up in Easton and moved to London in August to pursue her career.
He said: "She was a terrific girlfriend, I couldn't have asked for anything else. She was a super lady."
A tribute page has been set up on the social networking site Facebook and numerous tribute messages have been posted on the Shiv Lizzy fan page on the website.
Ms Watson, who was also a fashion designer, had been shortlisted in the Gaymers Emerging Talent Award. She described her experimental music as smootronic.
A Metropolitan Police Service spokesman said an inquest has been opened and adjourned.
Alan Whicker said:I think it was the other, bigger roundabout on the other side of the park. Neither are particularly enjoyable.
Can't wait for summer, then I can cycle home through the park
