A 74-year-old cyclist has been killed after he was involved in a crash with a car in Buckinghamshire.

Thames Valley Police said the collision between a black Mercedes-Benz C class and the bike happened on Marsh End Road, by the junction with Richmond Way in Newport Pagnell, at about 09:00 GMT on Wednesday.

A 27-year-old man, from Brent, London, who was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and drug-driving, has since been released on police bail.

The male bike rider died at the scene, the force said.

Det Con Julia Stroud said: "There were lots of people helping at the scene and many provided their details to police officers and other emergency service personnel, which we are grateful for.

"I would please ask for any witnesses to the collision or the vehicles involved prior to it, who have not yet provided a written statement, to contact us."
