A crew from Ross-on-Wye Fire Station attended an incident in Hereford this morning, Friday, January 12th. They attended, along with two Hereford crew and a Worcester crew, to assist the police and ambulance service following reports of a man falling from a bridge on Great Western Way at 6.19am.

A man in his 60s was sadly pronounced deceased at the scene.

Detective Sergeant Andy Duckworth of West Mercia Police said: “Our thoughts are with the man’s family, who have been notified and are being supported by special trained officers at this difficult time.

“A cordon was initially put in place to allow officers to conduct enquiries but has now been removed.

“The death is not being treated as suspicious at this time and police are not looking for anybody else in connection with the incident, however we would like to speak to any witnesses, in particular two women who stopped to administer first aid and a cyclist who is believed to have passed through the area shortly beforehand.”

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101, quoting incident number 64s of 12 January.
