Man down

[C8PPO]

Driving home last night, came across an RTA with a biker down. Station Rd in Aylesford, Kent, near the level crossing.

Difficult to see what had happened, but from the position of the vehicles (2 cars and the bike) it almost looked as though the 2 cars may have pulled out simultaneously from a RH and LH junction and left the biker nowhere to go.

Biker on the ground with a blanket, one bike trafpol on the scene at the time. Made me feel quite sick as I drove past. Hope s/he is OK and their Christmas isn't ruined.

Another one in Aylesbury this week outside the hospital. Bike under a car, no sign of rider.

There are a lot of drivers on the roads at the moment who are usually safely at home or in offices. Take extra care!!

Sports bike (R1?) propped against a tree near Leeds-Bradford airport this AM, didn't look too bad. Heard it was a case of biker overtaking car that decided to turn right without indicating... (or looking, obviously).
