Crap Cycling & Walking in Waltham Forest: The hazards of Lea Bridge Road: "One week after a pedestrian was run down and killed the flowers at the site have grown but there is still no police sign appealing for witnesses.
From the local weekly Guardian, which has extensive coverage and some graphic photographs:
THE man who tried to save the life of pedestrian Joe Sheridan, killed in Lea Bridge Road last Thursday, has witnessed four other accidents in the same place in six years.His wife's father was also knocked down on a nearby zebra crossing. Malcolm Durrant, landlord of the Hare and Hounds pub in Lea Bridge Road, Leyton, said: 'One time I saw a man flying through the air. And in the 1990s a lorry clipped a cyclist's back wheel and killed her instantly. Some drivers are oblivious. The road is this bad because it's so long and so straight. They should have some sort of chicane system like in countries abroad.'"
