A cyclist in her 30s is fighting for her life after a collision with a cement mixer at Old Street roundabout this afternoon.

Police, paramedics and firefighters were called to the scene of the crash at 3.30pm.

A Scotland Yard spokesperson said: “The female cyclist, aged in her 30s, has been taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

“Enquiries are underway to inform her next-of-kin.”

It comes a fortnight after cyclist Soren Aarlev died in hospital following a collision with a car in Goswell Road.

Mr Aarlev, of Haggerston, was the third cyclist to die on Islington’s streets in a year.
