Nottingham South MP Lilian Greenwood says she was lucky to escape with minor injuries
The crash happened on the eve of a scheduled visit to a Nottingham-based cycling charity Women in Tandem, which aims to "empower women to cycle".
"I'm a pretty careful cyclist," Ms Greenwood said. "This evening I was cycling home, paying attention because it was busy on the roads with pedestrians, cyclists and cars. "I was wearing hi-vis and my helmet. The traffic light was on green. Didn't stop a driver making an illegal turn and hitting me. "Very grateful to the pedestrians who came to help, called the police and looked after me until they were sure I was okay. And to the Met Police response officers who were brilliant."Any advice on getting back in the saddle gratefully received. Not that my bike it going to be rideable again any time soon."
