Police are appealing for a group of motorcyclists who may have spotted a fatal collision in Forthampton last year to come forward.

Officers investigating the death of a cyclist are hoping to identify the bikers, who have recently been identified as being in the area at the time.

The collision, which involved the cyclist and a black Volkswagen Golf, happened between 5.30pm and 5.45pm on Wednesday 21 July.

Emergency services attended the scene close to Bishops Walk and a 55-year-old cyclist was taken to Southmead Hospital via air ambulance, where he died on Monday 26 July.

Investigating officers want to hear from anyone who saw the collision or anything prior to it.

A man in his 60s from the Tewkesbury area was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He has been released under investigation while enquiries continue.

Officers are continuing to appeal for witnesses to the collision and it has recently been identified that a group of motorcyclists were in the area around the time. Officers now believe that they may have valuable information about the collision, the cyclist or the car involved and officers are asking them to come forward.

One was described as riding a sports bike with bright green fairing on the front.

Anyone with information should contact Gloucestershire Constabulary, quoting incident 473 of 21 July, using the website: https://www.gloucestershire.police.uk/contact/af/contact-us/
