went out tonight, got a cab home, but he couldn't take me down thamesdown drive, road closed by police, so paid cab and walked the remainder
2 bikes seem to be involved, one smashed pretty bad - not sure what has happened, but to close a road seems pretty bad
hope it was nobody from here involved
keep it shiny side up and ride carefully

I did hear about the crash - I also heard both riders were killed but cannot find anything on the news sites about it - so no confirmation yet. The road had been closed from approx 8.30
If it is the case RIP fellow riders

I have been in touch with the police this morning. A press statement was released at 6am once the road was re-opened.
Heart radio has announced that both bikers were killed, and that the police are appealing for witnessess.

Conflicting stories in the news.
Heart radio still insists both riders died.
Swindon Advertiser says one.. http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/n...s_after_crash/
Either way - sad news.

A MOTORCYCLIST died after a smash on Thamesdown Drive yesterday evening.
The accident happened at 8.45pm just past the Tawny Owl pub when two bikers, travelling north along Thamesdown Drive, collided.
It appears the lead motorcyclist hit the kerb on a right hand bend, causing the other biker to crash into him and be thrown from his bike.
Ambulance crews tried desperately to save the man's life but he died of his injuries.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Central Roads Policing Unit on 0845 4087000.
