Police are appealing for witnesses and footage to the serious collision between a cyclist and milk tanker in Stapeley, Nantwich.
The cyclist – a 68-year-old man – was taken to hospital with serious injuries where he continues to be treated.
The incident happened at 9.54am yesterday (Thursday 4 January) on the A529 Broad Lane.
Officers attended the scene and found that there had been a collision between a cyclist and a HGV tanker which was carrying milk.
Inquiries into the incident are ongoing and officers would like any witnesses to contact them.
Detective Constable Lisa Evans-Hill said: “We are urging anyone who may have witnessed what happened or who was in the area with dashcam or CCTV footage which may help aid our enquiries to contact us.
“You can report information via 101, or visit cheshire.police.uk/tell-us, quoting IML-1727678.”
Andrew, quote even where tax payers money has been spent (wasted) on cycle paths (Peter Destapleigh Way) most cyclists refuse to use them and instead block the road and ride dangerously close to cars at the traffic lights. Some people do not deserve tax payers money spent on them.
Money has not been wasted on the paths cyclists all ages use them and children too. where you have bikes on the road these are more long range cyclists, and a few hundred yards of cycle lane will never appeal to them, they are not the bikes a cycle lane wishes to attract, instead they are on the road in the correct gear, correct position, and if you are close to them in a car, then really you have to ask what sort of idiot driver are you? give them space they are humans too, and far more vulnerable than you are cocooned in metal with the huge sense of entitlement you have, grow up!
Desmond section of road where the indident occured (First Dig Lane to Park Lane) has no paths.
Secondly the area with paths (Bishops Wood up past the school) is not wide enough even for pedestrians. Its used by school children who have to go into the road to pass pedestrians coming the other way.
Thirdly even where tax payers money has been spent (wasted) on cycle paths (Peter Destapleigh Way) most cyclists refuse to use them and instead block the road and ride dangerously close to cars at the traffic lights. Some people do not deserve tax payers money spent on them.
with the paths along that road rarely used, they could be made into dual usage to save lives
poor guy I hope he gets better soon, seems a lot of motorists have a low opinion on some cyclists, leaning to the point of insanity as only yesterday in Haydon Drive , Stapeley I was cycling across the junction and as I got to the bike lane the other side a white saloon car turned after me and sounded his horn, totally entitled behavior as I was off the road before his turn anyway but I followed him home, (electric bike full speed) I have his address so he will be getting an interesting conversation later today, I am told by his neighbours he is well known for his selfishness
Let’s hope he recovers well. And that something is now done about the speeding on Broad Lane.
The road conditions are appalling , and signage almost non existent.
Council have been aware of this for several years…NOTHING Done.
