We are appealing for witnesses and footage after a man died following a collision in Morecambe.
The emergency services were called at 7.53am today (21st September) to Oxcliffe Road, Heaton-with-Oxcliffe, Morecambe, to a report of a road traffic collision.
When our officers attended, they found that a Seat Altea car had been in collision with a pedal tricycle, that causing the cyclist to fall into the road.
A Mercedes car was then in collision with the cyclist.
Very sadly, the cyclist – a man in his 80s – was pronounced deceased at the scene.

“They are being supported by specially trained officers.
