A lorry driver today admitted killing Boris bike rider Claire Hitier-Abadie at a busy junction near Victoria station.
The French-born mother-of-two was hit by a construction vehicle during the morning rush-hour on February 19 last year in Bressenden Place, at the junction with Victoria Street.
Witnesses at the time reported seeing the bicycle crushed beneath the truck's wheels.
Mrs Hitier-Abadie, 36, had recently moved to London from Paris with husband Pierre, an executive at Total Gas and Power at Canary Wharf.
A colleague of Mr Abadie wrote on Twitter at the time: "Absolutely devastated. My colleague's wife was killed while cycle commuting this morning, crushed by a lorry.
"The boss came over to tell us as we all work on an open floor. It's awful at work. Who does her husband hug and cry with?"
Alan Warwick, 61, of Rayleigh, Essex, today pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving at Southwark Crown Court.
He will be sentenced on April 18 at the same court.
