Police in Lancashire have launched a witness appeal after a cyclist was killed when he was struck by an car on Sunday 13 April.
The fatal collision took place shortly after 0910 hours on Runshaw Lane, Euxton, which lies about three miles south of Preston.
According to Lancashire Police, two cyclists were crossing the bridge over the M6 motorway "when an Audi S3 travelling in the opposite direction failed to negotiate a left hand bend and collided with the rear of one of the bikes."
The male cyclist, aged 35 and from Whittle le Woods, died at the scene. His riding partner was uninjured.
Police say that they arrested a 36-year-old man from Ormskirk on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He has been bailed until July.
Sgt Steve Wignall of Lancashire Police's Road Policing Unit, said: “I would appeal for anyone for anyone who saw this incident or who witnessed any of the vehicles involved prior to the collision to get in touch.”
Anyone who has information is asked to contact police on 101 quoting log number 0450 of Sunday, April 13th.

She was saying that 29% of women and 46% of men do cycle, so in the UK as a whole that would amount to about 15 million men and 10 million women,...
Not tribalist but trying to demonstrate the absurdity of the parental intervention and the reporting....
This is interesting. I recently checked on gov.uk about buying FFWD wheels shipped from their Netherlands base to me. I could have been doing it...
Come on! These aren't really meant to be ridden ---- it's purely bling!
That would make an interesting cycle race.
there is no law saying that you must leave 1.5 m when passing a cyclist, there is only a "should" in the Highway Code...
Honestly, can't people just realise that different things work for different people...
Stop building bike lanes and just close a couple of car lanes. Much cheaper and more useful. Cars don't use the left lane anyway. They are too...
There should be a disclaimer at the head of this report:...
I came to say the opposite, I always liked Giro shoes but they're insanely narrow. I hope they did change the fit.
