London paramedic's account of response to bike vs truck »

Account from an ambulance paramedic in London who attended the scene where a bike was crushed to death by a truck. Warning: the account is somewhat graphic.

Interesting discussion in the comments section about helmets, as well as an account from another paramedic from Connecticut, US, involving a biker and a dump truck.
