Cyclist could lose use of arm after lorry crash near Clapham Common
A cyclist has been taken to hospital with "life-changing" injuries after a collision with a lorry near Clapham Common.

The incident happened just after 8am this morning at the junction of Clapham Common North Side and Cedars Road.
The London Ambulance Service, the London Fire Brigade and the air ambulance were also at the scene.
Clapham Common North remained closed between Wix’s Lane and Cedars Road while paramedics treated the woman and accident investigation experts trawled the scene.
