Police have identified potential witnesses they’d like to speak to after a fatal collision in Morecambe last weekend.
The incident involved a pedal tricycle and two cars on Oxcliffe Road, Heaton-with-Oxcliffe at 7:47am on Saturday 21st September.
Police are now appealing to the drivers of a number of vehicles thought to have been close by at the time to come forward as they are likely to have witnessed the collision, and may be able to help in the investigation.
Police say they want to be clear that the drivers of these vehicles are potential witnesses only.
The cars are a new shape black Land Rover Defender, a blue Toyota CH-R, and a grey/silver Skoda Superb that were travelling along Oxcliffe Road towards the Bay Gateway at the time of the collision (7:47am), or in the moments shortly afterwards.
Morecambe Area Police have also issued a recent photograph of James Lawley, the man who died in the collision.
His cycling top is slightly different to the one he was wearing on the day of the collision, and his tricycle is a very similar one to the one he was riding on that day.
It is hoped releasing this photo will help people remember him that morning.
Detective Sergeant Matt Davidson from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: ‘’James Lawley was a well-respected member of the cycling community and his loss is widely felt.
"As part of the inquiry into his death I am appealing directly to the drivers of these 3 vehicles, and anyone else driving along the road that morning, to please come forward as they are very likely to have witnessed part of this incident and may have information that could be crucial to this investigation.
"James was wearing a yellow and red cycling jersey and riding a tricycle very similar to the one seen in this photograph of him. He was a familiar and distinctive road user and will have been seen by many that morning.
"If you can help, please email SCIU@lancashire.police.uk or contact Lancashire Police on 101 quoting log 303 of 21st September 2024."
