Appeal for witnesses after fatal collision involving cyclist in Newport Pagnell

    Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses to a fatal road traffic collision in Newport Pagnell yesterday (17/1). 

    A black Mercedes-Benz C Class and a cyclist were involved in a collision on Marsh End Road at the junction with Richmond Way shortly after 9am.

    The cyclist, a 74-year-old man, sadly died at the scene.

    His next of kin have been informed and specially trained officers are supporting them.

    A 27-year-old man from Brent, London, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and drug-driving. He has been released on police bail until 15 April.

    Investigating officer Detective Constable Julia Stroud, of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Sadly, a man has died following this collision and our thoughts are with his loved ones.

    “There were lots of people helping at the scene and many provided their details to police officers and other emergency service personnel, which we are grateful for.

    “I would please ask for any witnesses to the collision or the vehicles involved prior to it, who have not yet provided a written statement, to contact us.

    “I would also ask any drivers with a dash-camera who were in the area at the time, as well as anyone with CCTV cameras or video doorbells in the area, to check their recordings and let us know if they have captured anything that could help our investigation.

    “Get in touch by calling 101 or via our website, quoting reference number 43240024466.”
