Tragic: 30year old cyclist crushed to death by a tipper truck

A 30-year-old cyclist has died after being crushed to death by tipper truck during rush hour in central London, Scotland Yard said.
The truck had been driving along a one-way street close to Victoria tube station in south west London at 8am this morning when it struck the woman on the inside lane at a set of traffic lights.

The woman was found unresponsive at the scene on Victoria Street, which has been covered by a makeshift tent by officers, and she was pronounced dead on arrival.

Witnesses described seeing the bicycle being crushed under the second set of wheels of the Gordon Plant Hire truck as it attempted to turn left at the junction.

Another cyclist is said to have jumped in front of the lorry to stop it moving further, but the woman had already suffered fatal injuries.
