Default Cyclist receives life threatening head injury after collision with tanker

QUOTE:
A CYCLIST who collided with a milk tanker in Chippenham this morning is fighting for his life in hospital.

The man, in his 30s, suffered a life threatening head injury in a collision on the A350 which happened at about 12.35am today.

A police spokesman said: "The man was riding a Carrera pedal cycle along the A350 near to the Plough crossroads towards Chippenham when he was involved in a collision with the driver of a Renault Artic milk tanker travelling in the same direction.

"The cyclist was taken to Southmead Hospital in Bristol with a life threatening head injury.

The road was closed this morning for six hours while the collision investigators attended the scene and the incident was cleared.

The police spokesman said: "We’d like to hear from anyone who witnessed the collision, including anyone who may have been driving in the area with a dash cam fitted to their vehicle.

"Call 101 and quote log number 6 of July 6, 2020."
