Man hurt after collision on the Uxbridge Road Wednesday evening
There was traffic chaos on the Uxbridge Road this Wednesday evening (10 October) after another collision in which a cyclist was injured. It happened on the stretch of the road heading into the town centre in West Ealing and witnesses report seeing blood on the bonnet of a nearby car and say the man appeared to have been quite badly hurt and was being treated by paramedics at the scene. Uxbridge Road has long been a source of anger for cyclists who last year took part in a mass demonstration following the death of 51 year old Claudia Manera. The former police officer received serious injuries after a traffic collision involving a lorry, she was airlifted to hospital but died a few days later. Hundreds of people, supported by the Ealing Cycling Campaign took part in a mass march to ' Make Uxbridge Road safer' and called on Ealing Council and Transport For London for a road safety review.
There is currently a survey regarding safety on the Uxbridge Road but notably this focuses on the pedestrian's experience. Ealing's Council Leader Julian Bell, himself a keen cyclist has called for
segregated cycle lanes to give cyclists more protection. October 11 2018 |
