Flowers have been left at the scene of an accident which claimed the life of a 73-year-old woman.

Lynsted resident Barbara Phipps died after her bike collided with a Co-op delivery lorry in London Road, Teynham, yesterday at 10.15am.

Police are still appealing for witnesses to the collision, which happened at 10.15am.

The lorry driver, a 58-year-old man from Chelmsford, Essex, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and failing to stop. He has been bailed until July 5 while inquiries continue.

It is understood, police arrested him 10-miles away at the Medway services on the M2.

Senior investigating officer Sergeant Hannah Brown said: "The HGV and the cyclist were both heading towards Sittingbourne when the collision occurred opposite the Swan pub.

"We have already spoken to a number of witnesses but are keen to speak to anyone else who saw the incident and has yet to speak to us, or who saw the cyclist or the HGV prior to the collision."
