A cyclist has died following a crash in Moulton this morning, police have confirmed.

The collision happened at 6.25am today in Moulton Way, Northampton. The victim was a 52-year-old man.

A spokesman for Northamptonshire Police said: “A people carrier was in collision with a male cyclist on Moulton Way, close to the fire station.

“The driver of the people carrier, a 39-year-old man from Northampton, has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and is in custody at the Criminal Justice Centre in Northampton.”

The cyclist was originally taken to Northampton General Hospital with serious injuries, but has since died.

This is very sad.

Has anyone else noticed that a significant number of recent casualties have been men in their 50s? This is not just a personal cause for concern but a worry as men of my age are meant to be more cautious than younger men.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
