Coronavirus in England: Latest updates on 2 May - BBC News
Bringing you the latest news from across England about the coronavirus pandemic.
Crashes involving cyclists in North Yorkshire have risen as more people take to their bikes during the lockdown, police say.

The number of collisions with cyclists has gone up from 20% to 27%, compared to the same period last year.

North Yorkshire Police said the rise coincided with an increase in excessive traffic speeds.

The force has urged both cyclists and drivers to take extra care on the roads.

Sgt Kirsten Aldridge said: “We’ve seen a lot more cyclists using our roads recently, from young families and novices to experienced riders. The number of collisions involving cyclists has also sadly risen during this time.

“But if drivers and cyclists remember to share the road and stick to the rules this weekend, their risk of being involved in a serious crash can be significantly reduced.”
