No details about the person involved have been released.

Temporary traffic lights are due to return to a busy junction in Loftus today.

The lights will be reinstated at the Loftus A174 crossroads until Tuesday next week, in order to complete the removal of the final overhead cables by Northern Powergrid.

The traffic management is required to undertake these key infrastructure improvements in a safe manner.
