POLICE are appealing for witnesses after an incident which saw a cyclist knocked off their bike near the Severn Bridge in Chepstow.
The emergency services were called to a section of road between the M48 Severn Bridge roundabout and the A466 Wye Valley Road on Saturday, November 20.
It came as a result of a collision between a car and a bicycle, at around 9.20am.
Fortunately, the cyclist escaped serious injury, suffering minor road rash injuries.

It is not currently known what make or model of vehicle is thought to have been involved.
Gwent Police has confirmed that they are investigating the incident.
The force has urged any witnesses, or any motorists who may have been in the area at the time and have dashcam footage, to get in contact at this time.
