road.cc newsPolice in witness appeal after Northumbrian cycling fatality
Northumbria Police are appealing for witnesses to a crash in which a 43-year-old female cyclist was killed after being struck by a van.
Elizabeth Brown, from Jesmond in Newcastle, died in hospital following the incident on the A189 Spine Road, near Cramlington, at 7.15am on Wednesday morning.
Police are appealing for witnesses who may have seen the incident which happened on the northbound lane between the Shankhouse turnoff and the Three Horse Shoes roundabout.
They are particularly keen to speak to the occupants of a silver or grey van which may have been at the scene at the time of the collision. Officers want to stress that those people are potential witnesses.
Sgt Steve Minnikin from the force's Motor Patrols said: "We need any information the public can provide about this incident as our investigations continue."
Northumbria Police said a 22-year-old man has been arrested and bailed on suspicion of causing death by careless driving.

Am I the only person genuinely surprised to read this? I'd assumed that it would be at night - but 10.30 in the morning???

They don't deserve any payment, but the rebrand was done before Ashley got his stinky hands on it, so they probably did.

Really sad to hear this. I know the road well, and it's a poor layout in my opinion. Heading North on the Shankhouse sliproad you have a tight bend followed by a short sliproad onto the carriageway, then not much further on you have a sliproad which leads off to the roundabout mentioned.
I personally try to avoid this sliproad even when driving. I cross the A189 a few miles south every morning, and it can be quite chaotic at this time.
Thoughts go to Elizabeth's family.
