The Police Ombudsman has begun an investigation after a police motorbike was involved in a crash with a cyclist in Londonderry earlier today.
The crash happened on the Foyle Bridge just after 11.30am during an Irish National Road Cycling Championship race.
Paramedics attended alongside police, and both the male police motorcyclist and the male cyclist were treated at hospital for minor injuries. Both have since been discharged.
“The Foyle Bridge was closed for a time as emergency services attended the scene, but it has since re-opened.
“I want to appeal to anyone who witnessed the collision, or captured it on their dash cam, to contact police on 101, quoting reference number 857 of 30/06/19,” added PSNI Inspector Spence.
As is normal procedure, PONI has been informed of the incident.
