The A21 between the Northbridge roundabout and George Hill in Robertsbridge had to be closed by police for more than six hours.

Sergeant Stewart Goodwin said: “I am keen to speak to anyone who saw the collision happen or the cyclist or red Punto in the moments beforehand. I’d also like to speak to anyone who saw the Punto being driven away from Robertsbridge.

“If you saw anything please contact us, no matter how little you think you know. The information you have could be vital.”

Anyone with information should call 101 quoting Op Jutland or email [email protected].
