A tipper truck driver and a cyclist have died in two separate accidents in Cambridgeshire.

The cyclist, 77-year-old Derek Lindsell of Apsley Way, Longthorpe, suffered fatal injuries.

On Monday the driver of an LVD tipper truck died when he hit a telegraph pole on the A1123 at Stretham.

Police are appealing for witnesses to both accidents.
