Police move a step closer to identifying Dronfield death-crash cyclist

Pictured is a helmet as worn by an unidentified cyclist who was involved in a fatal crash with a Citroen C3 on the A61 Dronfield bypass.

The incident happened on a stretch of the A61 near Dronfield on Thursday, July 31, and involved Citroen C3 and a man riding a yellow and black Carrera bicycle.

A substantial number of calls from the public have since been received and police now have enough information to progress to the next stage of the investigation.

The cyclist suffered serious head injuries in the collision and died at hospital.

Police investigating the incident released photographs of the man’s cycle helmet, one of his shoes, the brand of bike he was riding and an Evo-fit image of him as he was not carrying any identification.

A Derbyshire police spokesman said: “The response to our appeal was excellent and the information we received has been of great assistance to the officers in this case.

“We would like to thank those who came forward or shared the appeal online.”
