Police tape (CC licensed by freefotouk on Flickr)Appeal issued as cyclist killed in Wakefield
Police are appealing for witnesses after a cyclist was killed following a collision involving a white Ford Transit van in Wakefield yesterday morning.
The rider, a 47-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash on Doncaster Road close to the junction with Oakenshaw Lane.
West Yorkshire Police said in a statement that the driver of the van was assisting them with their enquiries.
Sergeant Carl Quinn from the force’s Major Collision Enquiry Team said: "I would like to appeal to anyone who was in the area around 07:50 this morning [Thursday 25 February], and may have seen either the vehicle, or the cyclist prior to the incident, or who witnessed the collision itself to come forward."
Anyone who saw the collision or who has information is requested to contact the Major Collision Enquiry Team via 101, quoting reference 0245 of 25 February.

I don't know it to a level of detail to answer that, I'm afraid....
On the other hand, I have had a driver aim his car at me and berate me for being on the road instead of using a shared path.
These look ace value to be fair.. with all the articles and conversations about the higher costs of bikes since brexit/covid/cost of living etc.. ...
I had this close pass which the Met police issued an NIP for:...
"his legal representation explaining that he was wearing a helmet"....
How depressing. I find it hard to believe that the police are doing anything other than talking about it though. A driver can say 'I didn't see it'...
I can see your point, but the issue as a reviewer is that you have to try to discern how the actual frame and fork ride: that's difficult, and it's...
you got me, I googled that, and it seems it is in fact just your run of the mill roadcc typo. Since River Haven is the home of Noel EDMONDS, and...
I live within 500 yards of a primary school and a nursery and by far the worst speeding and parking in the area is by the parents of said children....
I appear to have proper access to both off-road.cc and ebiketips now....
