A Derbyshire road was closed for around an hour after a young cyclist was involved in a collision with a van at a busy junction. Officers were called to the scene of a collision on Friday (November 1) at the junction between Osmaston Street and Station Road in Sandiacre.

The road was closed at around 8.50am call while emergency services attended the scene.
