Cyclist involved in a suspected hit and run on St Barnabus roundabout this morning has sadly died of his injuries. Police are seeking the driver of a black Bmw in connection with the incident . Thoughts with the family.
I was hit and run, but fortunately lived. F*ckers who hit and run should be reserved a place in an electric chair.
I believe plod have now found the driver of the BMW and they have been arrested. CPS - no evidence/witnesses, ...... No further action.
Update on the BBC:
A 24-year-old man has been charged with causing the death of a cyclist in a hit-and-run in Gloucester.
Tykeran Hamilton, of Moor Street in the city, appeared before Cheltenham magistrates earlier.
Alan Knight, 64, was delivering papers when he collided with a car on Stroud Road in September.
Two other men, aged 27 and 36, remain on bail until January, and a 31-year-old woman has been released without charge.
Mr Hamilton is charged with causing death by dangerous driving, causing death while driving an uninsured vehicle and failing to stop after a road accident, police said.

Well he has been charged so there must be some evidence.
Solicitors make the meat of their money from court so are prone to advise clients to go no comment for financial reasons, not because it's in their clients best interest.
Only 10 years?For causing death by dangerous driving, failing to stop, no insurance and no driving licence, Hamilton got only 10 years in prison.
GC
Only 10 years?
That will be one of longest ever sentences for the offence of death by dangerous driving
