Police are now appealing for a good Samaritan van driver who may have essential information to come forward.

The man, who was wearing an orange hi-vis vest, was driving a white van and initially stopped to assist the injured cyclist but left the scene after the ambulance arrived, but before police attended at the scene.

He, or anyone who knows who he is, should contact 101 with log number 1233.
