No doubt lefty will blame the bus driver even if the cyclist was in the wrong.

A grazed knee perhaps? Broken side mirror?
Let's hope that all involved are ok. Having the road blocked for 30 minutes makes one think it was a pretty serious collision.
I hope I'm right. A 30 minute partial road blockage in Shoebury being the most reportable outcome must mean that nobody was badly hurt, mustn't it?

i hope the cyclist and everyone on the bus are ok, i personally blame people who parks their cars on the side on the road. no doubt this accident was caused because there wasn't enough road space for the cyclist and bus due to selfish morons parking their cars at the side of he road.
Perhaps those who make these assumptions every time there is an incident should check facts before commenting.
Hope all involved in the incident are OK.

joeski97: This incident took place in North Shoebury Road, nowhere near Hobleythick Lane. The comment you made is not relevant to this story. Perhaps if you have a problem with any other places or with the way drivers park you should take that up as a different issue.
