A cyclist is fighting for his life following a collision with a car in Islington.

Officers rushed to Essex Road near the junction with Canonbury Street at 4.46pm on Friday following reports of an accident.

The cyclist – a man aged in his 30s – has been taken to hospital and remains in critical condition.

His family have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.

The Honda Civic car stopped at the scene. The male driver is assisting police with enquiries. There has been no arrest.
