A WOMAN has been arrested after a cyclist was hit by a car in Padgate.

Officers were called to reports of an incident on Ashwood Avenue at 6.30pm on Tuesday.

Police attended and found there had been a crash between a Fiat 500 and a bicycle.

The cyclist, a 57-year-old man, did not sustain any serious or life-threatening injuries.

But the driver of the car, a 39-year-old woman, was arrested on suspicion of drink and drug driving following the incident.

However, a Cheshire Police spokesperson has now confirmed that no further action is being taken regarding this.
