A lorry driver hit a cyclist in City Road this afternoon.

Police were called at 12.44pm to reports of a collision between a lorry and a woman.

Her injuries are neither "life-threatening or life-changing", according to the Met Police.

Police originally thought the injured woman was a pedestrian but have since confirmed she was on a bike.

City Road was closed in both directions but has since been reopened to traffic.

Regan King, who witnessed the aftermath of the incident, told the Gazette: "When I saw the truck I thought, maybe it hit a cyclist. I looked under and actually saw the bicycle under the second left wheel. I don't know how she survived."
