Wednesday, 11 January 2017 07:00

Police investigating a road traffic collision which caused the death of a Leeds schoolteacher are appealing to trace the occupants of a white van as potential witnesses.　

Ian Winterburn, aged 58, from Leeds, died in hospital on Thursday, December 22, from injuries he received in the collision on the A6120 Ring Road, Halton, at the junction with Whitkirk Lane, near to Colton roundabout, at 7.30am on December the 12th.　

He had been cycling towards a roundabout when he was involved in a collision with a silver/grey coloured Skoda Fabia. The driver of the Skoda, a 51-year-old woman, from Leeds, has been interviewed under caution in connection with the incident.

Officers are continuing to investigate the incident and are keen to trace the occupants of a white van which was at the scene.

Sergeant Ann Drury, of West Yorkshire Police's Major Collision Enquiry Team, said "At the time the collision occurred, this van was the lead vehicle waiting at the junction of Whitkirk Lane and the Ring Road in Leeds. The vehicle waited a few seconds before setting off and I feel the occupants of this vehicle will have witnessed the accident and will be able to assist the investigation.”

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Police via 101
