Cyclist killed in Tower Bridge Road lorry collision

Police were called at about 9.30am to reports of a collision between a lorry and a cyclist.

A male cyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the truck, operated by Ron Smith Recycling of Feltham, stopped at the scene.

The incident is being investigated by officers from Southwark Police and the Met's collision investigation unit.
