Woman dies after crash between bicycle and Range Rover in Oldham

A woman has died after a crash between a bike and car in Oldham.

Emergency services were called to the scene of the crash on Huddersfield Road just after 1.20pm yesterday (March 24).

A black Range Rover collided with a cyclist near the junction with Stamford Road, police said.

The cyclist - a 43-year-old woman - was taken to hospital in a critical condition.

She sadly passed away this morning.

The Range Rover driver remained at the scene and spoke with officers.

No arrests have been made.

Enquiries are ongoing and police are asking anyone with information - particularly anyone with dash cam footage - to get in touch.

Inspector Danny Byrne of GMP's Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: "This was a tragic incident that has cost this poor lady her life and my thoughts are with her family during this very difficult time.

"This collision happened on a busy road, during daylight hours, so we're confident there will be witnesses out there that could provide vital information and we'd encourage them to contact us.

"We're working hard to piece together the circumstances surrounding this incident and would urge anyone with any information to get in touch as soon as possible.

"We're particularly interested to hear from anyone who may have been in the area at the time and could have Dashcam footage."

A police cordon closing off a large portion of the area was in place after the collision yesterday.

A helicopter, believed to be the air ambulance, landed at the nearby Waterhead Academy.

Traffic was diverted away from the area for some time after the crash.

Anyone with information or anyone who witnessed this incident should contact GMP's Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 0161 856 4741 or 101 quoting incident number 1381 of 24/03/2021, or alternatively contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
