A POLICE Community Support Officer has been killed in a crash at Hindley Green, GMP has confirmed.

Shortly after 10am today, police were called to the junction of Atherley Road and Leigh Road in Hindley Green following reports a cyclist had been hit by a wagon.

Emergency services were called to the scene where they discovered that a 21-year-old cyclist had died.

Although the cyclist has not yet been formally identified, it is believed he was a PCSO based at Hindley police station who was on patrol.

A shame, I agree but I would rather have a PC than a PCSO.
