Overnight the headline changed to, "... as taxi fights with cyclist." </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10960#post-122659 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 12:04:42 +0000 rosscbrown 122659@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Very tragic - I hope the girl makes a good recovery (and has medical insurance).</p> <p>Interesting to see how comprehensively this was reported.
