Police have appealed for witnesses in a cycle collision that saw a man die when he hit an tractor and trailer in Norfolk.
Paul Dye, 43, from Spixworth, died at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge last week after the collision on the North Walsham Road.
Norfolk’s assistant coroner David Osborne opened an inquest into the death this week, said that Mr Dye suffered a traumatic head injury following a road traffic collision.
Air ambulance staff tried and failed to save his life.
The inquest was adjourned for a full hearing on January 6, 2016.
Police are keen to hear from anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has information concerning the driving manner of either the black bicycle or the green John Deere tractor and trailer ahead of the collision.
Anyone with information should contact the Serious Collision Investigation Team at Wymondham on 101.
