The road was closed for four hours to facilitate an investigation.
PS Finn Quainton of the West Road Policing Unit said: “I would urge anyone who witnessed the collision to come forward and contact us. I am particularly interested in speaking with a group of cyclists who approached this junction just prior to the collision, from the direction of Halton, and then turned right onto the B6254 in the direction of the Redwell Public House.
“In addition I would also like to trace the occupants of a dark blue or black people carrier, possibly a Ford or Vauxhall, which passed this junction on the B6254, and continued on in the direction of Carnforth. I would like to stress that these individuals are simply required as possible witnesses to the collision.”
