Woman cyclist goes under lorry at Highbury Corner

HIGHBURY Corner was brought to a standstill on Tuesday afternoon after a cyclist was trapped under the wheels of a lorry.

A woman in her 30s is believed to have been riding onto the roundabout from Upper Street when she came off the bike and went under the vehicle outside the Famous Cock pub.

A barmaid at the Famous Cock said: "I saw a cyclist under the wheels of a big lorry. She was moving and responding which was a good sign so hopefully she'll be OK. I heard she was cycling and changed lanes but the lorry could not see her on his left hand side and she somehow came off the bike and went under the front wheel.
