Police investigating Slough cyclist's death seek witnesses
Police investigating the death of a cyclist in Slough are renewing their appeal for witnesses.
David Garden, 46, of Northborough Road, Slough, was found lying in Northborough Road next to a bicycle at about 10.30pm on Sunday 5 August. He sustained serious head and back injuries and was taken to Wexham Park Hospital where he later died.
A post-mortem carried out by a Home Office pathologist on 6 August found that Mr Garden’s injuries were consistent with being hit by an object travelling at speed.
On Sunday 12 August, exactly one week after the incident, Slough police officers were in Northborough Road seeking information from motorists and passers-by.
As a result of their inquiries, officers are seeking several people who may be able to assist in their investigation. In particular, they would like to speak to a black man aged about 45, wearing a blue sleeveless top, who was with two black boys aged about 12 to 14, wearing grey tracksuits.
The officers are also keen to trace a white Transit-type van or minibus with two occupants.
Sgt Dave Beeson of Roads Policing said: “I would urge these people to come forward as they may have vital information that could help us to find out what happened to David Garden.”
