London cyclist crushed by truck: 'I took what I thought was my lastbreath'
A woman who was run over by a 32-tonne lorry in London as she cycled to
work said she felt lucky to be alive. Sarah Heanaghan, 29, was dragged under the tipper truck’s wheels as it pulled away from traffic lights in Whitechapel High Street in January. She suffered severe spinal and leg injuries and still needs a wheelchair. Her lawyer has now helped secure an undisclosed sum from the lorry firm’s insurers to pay for rehabilitation. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/l...-a3721801.html -- Bod |
