We are appealing for information, witnesses and footage following a fatal collision on Pontefract Road in Barnsley.

We were called at 7.43pm on Friday (8 August) to reports of a collision involving a pedal cycle and a silver BMW, near the junction with Beevor Court.

The driver of the BMW failed to stop and fled the scene, with the cyclist, a 43-year-old man, treated at the roadside before sadly dying from his injuries.

His family has been informed and are being supported by our officers.

The BMW involved in the collision has now been located and a 24-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of death by dangerous driving and failing to stop. He has since been bailed pending further enquiries.

We are now urging anyone who witnessed the collision or anyone with relevant information or footage, including dashcam, CCTV or doorbell, to please get in contact with us.

You can send footage to us through this portal.

To report other information, please call us on 101, quoting incident number 913 of 8 August 2025.
