37 year old Greenwich man Edgaras Cepura was killed as he cycled over the roundabout at the Woolwich Road flyover on Friday 18th May at 0825. The driver of the lorry that collided with Edgaras stopped at the scene and is assisting police with their enquiries.
Officers from the Roads and Transport Policing Command are investigating and continue to appeal for anyone who witnessed the collision, but has not yet contacted police, to call the SCIU on 020 8285 1574. There have been no arrests and enquiries continue.
The death occurred a week after another cyclist died following a collision riding through Greenwich.
This is very sad I know but as a car driver, nearly every day I see cyclists going through red traffic lights, going up the inside of lorries not knowing if the lorry is going to turn left. Cyclists seem to think that this sort of behavior is acceptable and it is all very sad when it all goes wrong. If a car decided to jump the traffic lights, the driver gets fined & points on his licence.
