If you read the story the Evening Standard posted it gives the impression the cyclist either had a heart attack and fell off his bike or fell off his bike and had a heart attack, it just so happens this was next to an HGV. No arrests were made, so it sounds like it was an unfortunate and unpreventable accident for all involved.
