A woman has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after a cyclist was killed in a crash.

Ian Morris, 71, died after the bike he was riding was involved in a collision with a Ford Focus on the A6055 at the Leeming Lane junction with Stapley Lane in Thirsk on Wednesday afternoon.

He was described by his family as a "loving husband, dad and grandfather".

Police said the car driver was arrested at the scene and they asked for anyone with dash cam footage to get in touch.

In a statement, Mr Morris's family said they were "absolutely devastated" by his death.

"He was a well-known and loved member of the Bedale area who loved both his golfing and cycling," they added.

Stapley Lane is a muddy single-lane potholed track.

Be interesting to know who was using which road, as the junction has a
clear view in both directions along the A6055.

58.7% of cyclist KSI occur ‘not at a junction or within 20m of a junction’
(data from 2016-2021) so this is an infrequent occurrence.

‘Driver or rider failed to look properly’ resulted in 3,624 cyclist KSI
2016-2021.

Further details awaited with interest.
