“At around 1pm on Wednesday 20 November 2024, sadly a fatal collision occurred on Albion Way in Salford at the roundabout with M602 and A57 Regent Road between an HGV and a cyclist.

“This is to ensure we understand fully the circumstances and can bring the answers to the family and friends who are having to come to terms with losing their loved one.”
