The collision occurred just before 2pm on Friday (August 6).
Locally, the junction is known as the College Place Roundabout.
A pedal cyclist was emerging from Woolston Grange Avenue intending to go around the roundabout towards Crab Lane, when he struck struck by a white van coming from the Birchwood direction to exit onto the Warrington bound carriageway. The van was similar to a white Peugeot Expert van and was driven by a man.
