One person who was close by when the accident happened told us:

“I went to help the old lady, another car user said the cyclist slipped from her bike and the 4 by 4 ran over, Hope she is ok”

While Mike Clarke said:

“I came off my bike on that roundabout 2 weeks ago; similar day to today-certain there was diesel on the road making it slippy”
