A spokesman for the London Ambulance Service said: "We were called at 10:36am today (23 July) to reports of a road traffic collision on Kings Cross Road, Islington, WC1X.

"We sent resources to the scene including an ambulance crew, a paramedic in a fast response car, and an incident response officer."

A trauma team in a car from London’s Air Ambulance was also dispatched.

The spokesman said: "We treated a patient and took him to a major trauma centre as a priority by road."

A staff member at the Northumberland Arms, a pub opposite where the incident took place, said: "There is no real place for cyclists on this road so accidents happen all the time."
