A cyclist has sustained serious injuries following a road traffic collision in Sudbury.

Police were called at 2.30pm on Tuesday afternoon, 5 May, to reports of a collision involving a bicycle and a white Peugeot Expert van, on the A134 between the roundabout junction with Sudbury Road and Mills Lane.

The cyclist – a man aged in his 70s - was taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital for treatment where he remains in a serious condition.
