Witness appeal following serious road traffic collision in Ardeley

Police are appealing for witnesses and information following a serious road traffic collision in Ardeley.

At around 1030am on Sunday (28 August), a cyclist and an agricultural vehicle were in collision on Baldock Road, Wood End.

Officers and the East of England Ambulance Service attended.

The cyclist, a man aged in his 70s, was taken to hospital in a serious condition where he remains at this time. He is thought to have suffered life-changing injuries.

PC James Wingate, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Road Policing Unit, said: "I'd like to hear from anyone who witnessed this collision, who has not already spoken to us.

"It is believed other cyclists were in the area and may have seen what happened or captured footage on head-cams which could assist our enquiries into the circumstances of the collision.

"If you can help, I can be contacted directly by email via [email protected]."

You can also report information online at herts.police.uk/report, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat at herts.police.uk/contact or call the non-emergency number 101, quoting crime reference ISR 238 of 28 August.

Alternatively, you can stay 100% anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org
