Bradley Wiggins gestures at photographers after he is released from hosptial following accident Wiggins was planning to resume his winter training for next year's racing programme after an autumn break, he added. Garage attendant Yasmin Smith went to Wiggins' aid when she heard a screech of tyres and a loud bang. She told ITV's Daybreak: "I came straight outside to see a gentleman sat on the pavement, but I didn't realise who he was. I just went over to help. The ambulance and the police had been called. Ms Smith said the driver was in shock: "She was very upset, even more upset when the police actually said 'do you realise who you've hit?'. That really put her back, because obviously she felt bad enough. Ms Smith said Wiggins' wife Cath was on the scene within about five minutes. AA president Edmund King said: "This collision should act as a reminder to all drivers that we need to be more vigilant, particularly when pulling out of entrances and turning at junctions. With autumnal weather and darker evenings it is essential to check and double check for cyclists, pedestrians and indeed other road users before pulling out. We need to break down the 'two tribe' mentality on the roads and co-exist in harmony.
