A cyclist landed in a hedge after being overtaken by an articulated lorry in what police have described as a ‘close pass’ on a rural road between Derry and Strabane.

The incident occurred last Thursday.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland said they were keen to speak to any road users who witnessed the ‘close pass’ between the lorry and the cyclist in the Berryhill Road area of Artigarvan.

“Around 4.10pm, a cyclist reports that he was overtaken dangerously by a white articulated lorry while a black jeep was travelling in the opposite direction.
