    Cyclist killed in Croydon bus crash

    A cyclist has died after colliding with a bus in Croydon, south London.

    The man, who was in his 40s, was struck by a bus on Croydon's tram line on Addiscombe Road at about 12:00 GMT, police said.

    London Ambulance Service said the man went into a cardiac arrest. He was taken to hospital but was pronounced dead at 13:20.

    Another cyclist is in a "serious but stable" condition after he collided with a bus in south-east London.

    Emergency services were called to Kennington Park Road at about 08:45 after the 46-year-old man collided with the bus at a junction.

    Transport for London said 11 cyclists had died on London's roads so far this year, compared with 14 in 2012.

    There is a suggestion, on Singletrackworld, that the tram tracks may have been a factor in this accident...
