I've tweeted them to ask for news on the condition of the cyclist.

 

Edit: Should've checked my TL before posting:

[JGR]

Agreed.

[crasher]

Must be one of VW's demo units for the launch as the car is not available yet

Does anyone know what "P2" means here?

[Warren911]

He should be ok then!

The normal problem with these types of accidents are head injuries (look at the windscreen.)

Wondwer if he was wearing a helmet?

Broken arm, can live with that.

P2 injured but not life threatening.

P1 Life threatening/critical

P4 deceased.

Hope the rider heals up soon and that the driver who hit him replaces his bike and helmet etc

The backup was not caused by the accident but by the traffic light that has not been working for 5 days . I been getting on the pavemunt there everyday for the last week to avoid the traffic jam .

[Slowbee]

any information on if it is a demo car ? that would be bad news for VW surely ?

Thanks! I assume P3 it "least badly injured" then?

[Warren911]

Correct P3 injured but not serious at all, "walking wounded'.

The P stands for priority of injury.
