A cyclist in his 40s has sadly died following a road traffic collision on Cromwell Road in Pendleton.
Just before 4pm yesterday (May 16) officers were called to a fatal collision on Cromwell Road between a cyclist and a Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) at the junction of Langley Road South.
It is believed that the HGV was travelling northeast on A576 Cromwell Road towards the junction with Langley Road South and the victim, a cyclist, was travelling in the same direction behind the HGV.
As the vehicle approached the junction of Cromwell Road and Langley Road South the HGV turns left onto Langley Road South and at the same time the cyclist continued to travel straight on and a collision occurred.
Emergency services attended and sadly the cyclist, a man in his 40s, passed away as a result of the injuries he sustained.
A 39-year old man has since been arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving. He has since been released under investigation whilst enquiries continue.
