Tributes paid to 66-year-old cyclist who died in Yorkshire crash
Tributes have been paid to a cyclist who died after a crash in Yorkshire earlier this month.
Nigel Riley was hit by an SUV while cycling along A636 Denby Dale Road at around 10pm on July 15.
The 66-year-old, of Horbury, died in hospital the following day.
West Yorkshire Police said the collision involved a grey Omoda 5 SUV on the southbound carriageway of the road, near to the traffic light junction with Thornes Road.
On behalf of his family, Mr Riley’s brother said: “He was a much-loved brother, brother-in-law and friend to many. He will be missed."
Officers from West Yorkshire Police’s major collision enquiry team are continuing to appeal for witnesses or anyone with footage of the incident.
Detective Sergeant Steve Suggitt said: “Sadly, Nigel Riley passed away in hospital last week. It is important that we get answers for his family about the events that have led up to his death.
“This collision has occurred at a major road junction, and we are appealing to anyone who believes they have seen either the Omoda SUV or Nigel’s bike before this collision to please get in contact.
“We would also ask any motorists who were in the area and have dashcams fitted to check if they have captured any part of this incident.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact police online or by calling 101, quoting incident number 13260403435.
