The woman cyclist who died on the A4 near Box last Wednesday has been named as Sarah Hayward, from the Bath area.

The 39-year-old had been cycling along the A4 towards the village when the accident happened at around 7.20pm when she was overtaken by a light green Ford Focus and hit the bonnet and windscreen of the car.

She was taken to the Royal United Hospital by ambulance but she later died in hospital.
