Looks like a cyclist got run over by a cement truck at Old Street roundabout. Hope they're ok... reaffirms my unwillingness to cycle anywhere here though! pic.twitter.com/NfzHpc4FJ4

An image from the scene appears to show a mangled bicycle near a cement mixer lorry on the roundabout.
London Assembly Member Caroline Russell tweeted: "This is why we need Vision Zero so that our loved ones get home safely each day."
On Tuesday London Mayor Sadiq Khan, TfL and the Metropolitan Police launched their Vision Zero initiative aimed at eliminating deaths and serious injuries from the capital's transport network.
