Police issue fresh witness appeal after cyclist dies following collision on A30

Police are appealing for witnesses after a Camborne cyclist died following a collision with a car on the A30.

Paul Kemsley, 54, died after he was hit by a van as he was travelling on the eastbound carriageway of the A30 from Hayle to Tolvaddon on Friday, October 5.

The serious collision investigation team are now keen to speak to any witnesses who saw either a Daihatsu Hi-jet van or a pedal cyclist riding between Camborne west junction (Treswithian) and Tolvaddon shortly before the incident occurred at around 9.30am.

Police believe both the cyclist, who was wearing a yellow jacket, and the van left the Camborne area before joining the A30 at Treswithian.
