Officers are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the collision and would like to hear from the drivers of two vehicles who were seen to travel through the scene of the crash immediately afterwards. Both vehicles were travelling in the direction of Harlow
Anyone with information about the collision or the driver of either vehicle who passed through the scene is asked to contact officers at Essex Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 101.
The police visited my house as I had narrowly missed a cyclist with no lights , dark clothing. It was dark, raining, and the chap I just missed was a mile further towards harlow from this accident and he was heading towards ongar. Intriguing as they took photos of my BMW and I confirmed the time of 5.35am after the news bulletin had just finished. Was there more than 1 cyclist deciding to use a fast A road in the rain, in the dark, with no lights ?
