Police have issued a CCTV appeal after two cyclists were hospitalised following a collision in South Gloucestershire.
The cyclists were travelling in single file from Wickwar towards Chipping Sodbury on Tuesday, July 28 when a black 4x4 towing a large trailer attempted to pass them.
As they entered a 40mph zone at around 5.50pm, the cyclists reported hearing the sound of a car horn and shouting as the vehicle approached them.
The driver overtook and deliberately swerved to the nearside verge, causing the trailer to knock one of the cyclists from his bike and the other cyclist to collide with him.
The two cyclists, both men in their 40s, sustained injuries which required hospital treatment. They have since been discharged.
Avon and Somerset Constabulary is appealing for witnesses or anyone who can help identify the driver involved.
