cyclist killed in bus collision

. | 26.05.2004 23:21 | Oxford

A cyclist was killed by a collision with a bus on Cowley Road, Oxford, today.

A woman died today after being hit by a bus while out cycling this afternoon. Details of exactly how it happened are sketchy at this point (perhaps if somebody knows more they can post it as a comment).

She was a first year student at catz (St Catherine's college). Grieving friends have turned a small area of the quad into a sea of candles, laid flowers and messages and are gathered there tonight.
