Appeal for witnesses to collision involving cyclist and flatbed transit van

Police are appealing for witnesses to a collision in Gloucester earlier this month which involved a cyclist and flatbed transit van.

It was reported that the collision had taken place on Matson Lane at around 8.45am on Thursday 3 March.

The cyclist reported that she was travelling along the stretch of road, from the direction of Painswick Road, when the driver of a transit van overtook on the offside before cutting in front of her.

It was alleged that this caused the cyclist to fall to the floor sustaining cuts and wounds to her arms and legs as well as bruising to her back.

The transit van did not stop and left in the direction of Matson Avenue which meant that the cyclist was unable to get details of the driver or a registration number.

Due to the time of day, a number of people were in the area at the time and may have witnessed what happened.

Investigating officers are asking anyone with information or dashcam/CCTV footage to please come forward.

Information can be submitted by completing the following online form and quoting incident 20 of 4 March: https://www.gloucestershire.police.uk/tua/tell-us-about/cor/tell-us-about-existing-case-report/

Alternatively you can call police on 101.
