Appeal after elderly cyclist dies

A cyclist in his 70s suffered fatal injuries when his bike collided with a stationary car outside a post office in Carmarthenshire, police have said.

They have appealed for witnesses to the incident on Saron Road in Capel Hendre, Amman Valley at 1040 BST on Tuesday.

Police say they are keen to speak to the driver of a blue taxi that was at the scene just before it happened.

The taxi is described as having been adapted for wheelchair access and the driver is believed to be female.

Dyfed-Powys Police said the road was closed for around two-and-a-half hours.

Anyone who witnessed the collision, or has any information, is asked to contact the roads policing unit at Ammanford on 101.
