Stunned witnesses threw a life ring to the driver.

It was also noted that they are assessing the damage to the bicycle shelter and plan for repairs.

A representative also stated:

“Part of the shelter is damaged - glass and structural elements. If we want to replace like for like, we need a complete replacement of the shelter, so we will work with the relevant stakeholders on possible options for replacement or modernization.'

“The replacement of the shelter and the fence will be carried out at a later stage after making the area safe.'
