Yesterday morning at 9:30 am two bikers died in a tragic accident on a sharp bend on airport road .The bikers were talking to each other while they were overtaking a lorry which was travelling in the direction of Heathrow Airport.
Apparently they were having morning exercise in preparation for the tour de France.
Two motorcyclists were coming from Heathrow Airport while looking at a low-flying landing airplane. "They were riding very fast ", an eyewitness said.
The collision between the motorcyclists and the bikers blocked the traffic for more than two hours. Two policemen were investigating the accident when we arrived on the scene.
