A 61-year-old male cyclist has died after an incident in Leek Wootton today.

Paramedics, police and an air ambulance were called to the junction between the B4115 and Hill Wootton Road at around 12pm by a member of the public.

When West Midlands Ambulance crews arrived the man was receiving medical attention from Warwickshire Police Officers, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
