Broken bike (CC licensed image by garryknight, www.flickr.com)Two arrested after 82-year-old cyclist killed in Gloucestershire
Police in Gloucestershire have said that they made two arrests following the death of an 82-year-old woman who was cycling in Stroud shortly before 5am yesterday morning.
Officers were alerted to an incident involving a cyclist on Cairncross Road at 4.50am on Monday morning.
The cyclist, who was seriously injured, was taken to Southmead Hospital in Bristol, where she subsequently died.
Gloucestershire Constabulary said that initially it was not clear whether any other vehicle was involved.
However, officers subsequently arrested a 39-year-old-man and a 28-year-old woman on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
The pair have since been released while investigations continue.
Police have appealed for anyone who saw the collision or has information to contact them.
They said that they would "particularly like to speak to a man who was walking near Beards Lane, heading towards Cainscross Road, at about 4.50am as he may have seen a vehicle drive past at speed."
Anyone who has information is asked to contact Gloucestershire Constabulary on 101 quoting incident 22 of 23 April.

Oh, it's not your fault at all. I know it's there, but can't even find it when clicking on the Forum links. It'll likely appear after an hour or so.
Unable to trust it... My solution to this problem began a few years ago- just get another one when they're cheap and light enough
"cyclists using the route was up more than 300 per cent on 2019 levels"...
The CUK members' own stories about their travels in the mag make me wonder whether road.cc could built up a bank of readers' favourite routes? It...
There is no way on that terrain the wheels would clog up.
No. But do you think Trump is? 🤡💩🤣
Was a stocking-filler type thing but always handy - reflective spoke straws. (They're not reflecting as I turned the flash off.)
Dont forget Linford Christie
I'm confused. What base layer isn't damp after a warm effort - it's the purpose of their entire existence. Wringing wet I might agree with. ...
Don't open at Edinburgh Fringe with that one.
