Serious M42 live crash updates after cyclist hit by lorry

Police appeal for witnesses and make dashcam plea

Warwickshire Police are urging any witnesses to come forward. While the force had made a dashcam plea.

A police spokesman told BirminghamLive: “At 5:25pm yesterday evening (13 December), a road traffic collision between a lorry and a cyclist took place on the M42 Southbound slip road to join the A5, between Tamworth and Dordon.

“The cyclist was treated at the scene before being taken to hospital by ambulance. The incident led to a road closure on the slip road while collision investigators checked the area.

“This caused major delays to traffic along the A5 and M42, which as of 10pm yesterday have cleared. If anyone saw this incident or has any dashcam footage that might help us, please contact us citing Incident 289 of 13 December.”
