Officers are appealing for witnesses and anyone with dashcam footage to come forward following a fatal collision in Weymouth.
The collision occurred at around 11.29am on Friday 24 December 2021 on the A354 Weymouth Way and involved a silver Mitsubishi 4×4 and a cyclist.
Very sadly, the cyclist – a local man aged in his 50s – sustained very serious injuries and died at the scene. The driver of the Mitsubishi was not physically injured.
The A354 is currently closed between the Manor roundabout and Chafeys roundabout while emergency services respond to the incident and collision investigators examine the scene.
Sergeant Dave Cotterill, of the traffic unit, said: “Our thoughts are with the man’s family and friends at this devastating time.
“An investigation into this collision is underway and I am appealing to anyone who witnessed the incident, or may have captured it on dashcam, to please contact Dorset Police.
“Finally, I would like to thank motorists, local businesses and residents for their patience and understanding during the road closures, which are entirely necessary to allow us to respond to this incident.”
