A driver in Dorset has been arrested after a cyclist was killed in Portland yesterday, with police saying that it is believed the victim was involved in a collision with another rider immediately beforehand.

Officers were alerted to the fatal crash on the A354 Portland Beach Road at around 6.53am.

The cyclist, a local man aged in his 30s, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The motorist, a woman aged in her 40s who lies in Portland, was driving a black Ford Focus and was arrested on suspicion of having committed a driving offence.

Police closed the road between the Osprey Quay roundabout and the junction with Hamm Beach Road while emergency services responded to the fatal crash.

Sergeant Dave Cotterill, of the force’s traffic unit, said (link is external): “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who sadly died.

“We understand the cyclist was involved in a collision with another cyclist shortly before this incident and would urge anyone who witnessed either collision to please come forward.

“I am also appealing to any motorists who were travelling in the area and may have captured anything of relevance on dashcam footage.”

Anyone who has any information is asked to contact Dorset Police online at www.dorset.police.uk (link is external), via email to scit@dorset.pnn.police.uk or by calling 101, quoting incident number 15:56.

"lies in Portland"?

Typo or Freudian slip?

Have we heard any more?

It sounds as though the deceased had lost control of his machine after
the collision of his own bicycle with another cyclist, doesn't it?

If she "lies" in court, she will be in deep trouble.

THANK YOU!

Exactly as I knew you would, you have just responded to my post - which
is the only one made in that thread since 16th November *2021*.

You have been caught out yet again in your tales of the imaginary Google
Groups killfile, haven't you? :-)

You just aren't clever enough for the game, are you?

But still... live with it.

Driver was arrested - surely some mistake?

Didn't "Clarkson" say that the police should not investigate road deaths but open up roads without opening a new case?
What a selfish knob.
