A cyclist has died following a road collision in Bangor.

The victim aged forty was travelling along the Newtownards Road around two this afternoon when the collision happened.

Two other cyclists were also hurt, but their injuries aren't thought to be life threatening.

A 59 year-old was arrested at the scene and is in police custody.

Inspector Stephen McGuigan said: “The collision, involving a white Hyundai car and three cyclists, occurred on the Bangor-bound carriageway shortly before 2pm today.

“I would ask anyone who was travelling on the Newtownards Road near Conlig at the time of the collision and who may have information which could assist us with our enquiries to contact officers at the Collision Investigation Unit on 101 quoting reference number 691 of 11/07/17.”
