the tragedy on the A46 in south Warwickshire at about 3.20am.
A police spokesman said the accident happened between Bidford-on-Avon and Alcester as the cyclist was heading towards Alcester.
“He was struck from the rear by a motor vehicle,” the spokesman said. “The vehicle did not stop and the pedal cyclist died at the scene.
“Police have reason to believe that a cream-coloured Iveco box-type vehicle was involved. This vehicle will have sustained nearside damage.”
There was a police notice in Drayton Park (by the Arsenal ground) last week appealing for witnesses to a fatal road accident, involving “a collision between a cyclist and a tipper lorry”. A collision? Well that’s one way of putting it. No prizes for guessing which was the fatality.
