Cyclist killed on bypass
A Kidderminster cyclist has died after a collision with two cars on the Bewdley bypass. The cyclist was believed to be a 35-year-old Kidderminster man.
He was riding towards Bewdley when the collision happened at about 6.15pm yesterday.
Police spokesman Lynne Masters said the man had been riding a silver Trek Mondane racing bike towards Bewdley when he was involved in a collision involving a black Saab estate and a blue Audi estate, both of which were travelling in the same direction.
Two ambulances and a rapid response paramedic were called out by West Midlands Ambulance Service but despite efforts to save the cyclist he was certified dead at the scene.
Service spokesman Daphne Lewis said: "On arrival it was apparent a male cyclist had been seriously injured. Every effort was made to resuscitate the casualty at the scene, but unfortunately the man had been fatally injured."
Pc Tom Symonds, of West Mercia's Worcestershire Road Policing Unit, said today: "I would urge anyone with information about the collision to call me on 08457 444888 extension 3143.
"We don't want witnesses to assume that other people will ring in. Each piece of information could be vital."
