Don't know the guy's name, but got multiple reports that the fella who used to ride a Raleigh Bomber was run over this am by a lorry, possibly an M & S branded HGV.

His legs were crushed, but not said to be in mortal danger.

These are all 2nd hand accounts. Would welcome more accurate eye-witness accounts, and details of his name and the company he worked for.

Again 2nd hand account.
Riders name Effri, possibly works for Rueters, huge cow horn bars and big afro.
I've heard 2 versions of the story from different people.

Definitely not a Reuters Brooks rider! Spoke to one of the controllers just now.

Lots of rumours, no hard facts so far.

Cheers!

Effri (sp?) works at Destinations. Not dead, but seriously injured.

shit that's fucking awful, I seen that dude about, proper nice bloke. Hope reports of his injury have been greatly exagerated, but sounds bad.

if its still not confermed if it is really effri or just me, i work for city sprint and im just in hospital at the mo using there ultra slow tinternet lol.

Chewy - is that your IRO on essex road then? get well soon.

i spoke to some of the guys who plot up in wood st before an they say e,frame had surgery last night. i,ll let u know when i know more. get well soon chewy!

As far as I know E legs are gone and on Tue there was still no chance of seeing him. Apparently doctors are saying that he will make it just fine, but will never ride again. Very sad day for all of us and news crushed me totally. Hope he will get better very soon.

Shit - that's totally fucked up. Is effri the guy who rides a gold pursuit frame and used to ride an old battered blue raleigh?

poor fella, I wish him all the best in his recovery.

Not sure if I know Chewy but Effri is a DUDE. So sorry to hear about this. Get well soon guys

We've still got the money from last year London pre-events and we've agreed that it should go to these two guys. Not sure exactly how much we got...Creative john's in charge of the cash..as soon as he get back to us, we can get in touch with Chewy and Effri...looks like they will be off for a while so i'm sure any other donations will be welcomed...all the best to you guys and get well soon.

And also a COA fund is in place at Citysprint for Chewy so give your COA away....

@ papillon

That is good news. Respect to all at cs. And even more resp to the London's Calling crew.

@ Bill
You probably know the logistics and/or company attitude better than I, do you think there's any chance of setting up a coa fund at creative?

hope that's the case. really fuckin hope thats the case. alll love and thoughts, anythin that could help him post here x

OK, i'll do it today.

One thing worth remembering about paypal is that it costs money. Better to keep as much as poss in cash.

Ok, so I think the best thing will be to use my paypal account. It is bill.chidley at mac.com . Mark your payments 'EC Donation'

Also don't forget that you can also make donations direct to the Bicycle Messenger Emergency Fund here
