London 2012: Man bailed after Olympic bus cyclist death
Published: 2nd Aug 2012 07:42:07
A man who was arrested over the death of a cyclist who was struck by an Olympic bus close to the Olympic Park has been released on bail.
The man, in his mid-60s, was detained after the cyclist, 28, died at the junction of Ruckholt Road and East Cross Road in Hackney.
The incident happened on Wednesday at about 19:45 BST.
Scotland Yard said the suspect had been held on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
The victim has not yet been identified, but an International Olympic Committee source told the BBC he was not an Olympic competitor.
The crash, involving a bus carrying media workers from the Olympics, happened close to the hockey centre, velodrome and Paralympic tennis arena.
"The police are investigating and our thoughts are with the cyclist's family," Olympic organisers Locog said.
