A bicycle was seen on the floor alongside the woman. 

An eyewitness, who asked not to be named, said: "A lady was on the floor by the pavement and she looked like a cyclist. I could not see police or the ambulance present, just the fire service.

"It was hard to tell what had happened walking past. I hope she is Ok."
