Police are appealing for witnesses following a fatal road traffic collision in Loughborough last night.
Officers were called shortly after 8pm yesterday (Friday 7 July) to a report of a collision in Ling Road.
On arriving at the location, a cyclist was seriously injured and despite the efforts of East Midlands Ambulance Service and the Air Ambulance, he died at the scene.
A silver Audi S3, which was also believed to have been involved in the collision, was reported to have left the scene. A vehicle matching this description was subsequently later found on fire in Frederick Street and has been recovered by police.
Following enquiries carried out a 29-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and a 40-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman have been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. They all remain in police custody at this time.
