We are appealing for witnesses, information, and dashcam footage following a fatal collision in Sheffield.

We were called to the A616 near Langsett Reservoir at 10.26am on Monday (7 April) where it was reported a HGV had been in collision with a cyclist. Emergency services attended but, despite their best efforts,
the cyclist, a 58-year-old man, was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

His family has been informed and is being supported by officers.

The driver of the HGV, a 47-year-old man, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by driving without due care and attention and driving while unfit through drink or drugs. He has been bailed as our investigation continues.

We are now appealing for witnesses and people with information or daschcam footage to come forward and speak to us. It is thought the cyclist was travelling along the A616 away from Flouch roundabout when the collision occurred near to the water treatment works and a high number of vehicles are understood to have driven past the collision. 

We are particularly keen to hear from these drivers, or anyone who has relevant dashcam footage.
