Cyclist dies in Burpham after late night collision

Cyclist dies in Guildford after late night collision. It is the third cycling related death to occur locally in just one week.

A cyclist has died on the southbound carriageway of the A3 at Burpham following a fatal collision last night.

The incident occurred just after 11.30pm on Thursday, 24 July after a car and a pedal cycle collided.

The cyclist was pronounced dead at the scene and the driver of the vehicle has been taken to hospital for treatment to injuries sustained during the collision.

Officers are urging anyone who may have either witnessed the incident unfolding or the events surrounding it to contact them.

Worryingly, this is the third cycling death to occur locally in just one week. 

Last Saturday, Laurent Patrick Cullinan, a 25-year-old cyclist from New Malden, was taken to hospital after a crash on Kingston Road in Merton. He died nine hours later.

On Monday, 40-year-old Henry Lang from Twickenham died following a serious collision with a dustcart on Kew Foot Road, Richmond.
