Rebecca Goossen

Trainee architect, 29, died after she was caught on the inside of a left-turning cement mixer as she cycled to work at Metropolitan Workshop in Cowcross Street. She was living in Bethnal Green but her home was a village near Hamburg, Germany.

October 2009: a coroner returned a verdict of accidental death. The driver, Vladas Urbanas, claimed that he had looked in his mirror and that Rebecca must have been in "a blind spot".
