A motorcyclist was fighting for his life and a cyclist was seriously injured today in separate collisions in central London.
The first crash involved a 33-year-old biker colliding head-on with a car shortly after 6am on Victoria Embankment.
London Ambulance service took the man to Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel where he is being treated for serious injuries. The road was closed between Waterloo Bridge and Westminster Bridge, causing major tailbacks.
The second accident involved a cyclist "stuck" beneath a cement-mixing lorry.
The woman was crushed by the truck belonging to the firm "Jim'll Mix It" at the junction of Upper Thames St and Southwark Bridge. She was also taken to the Royal London Hospital suffering from pelvis injuries.
Police have named three men who died in a crash on the M1 on Saturday as Fakhir Jabakhyl, 22, and Ahmed Nassar Doulatzani, 32, of Edgware, and Hoshal Doulatzani, 24, from Willesden.
