A cyclist who died after he crashed into a tree has been named as a Nottinghamshire policeman.

Det Insp Pete Parchment, 49, was cycling with friends near Pateley Bridge, North Yorkshire, when he hit the tree on Wednesday morning.

North Yorkshire Police said the accident happened on the B6265, known locally as Greenhow Hill.

Mr Parchment, who was wearing a cycling helmet, suffered serious injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

It appears no one else or any other vehicles were involved, a police spokeswoman said.

Chris Eyre, Nottinghamshire Police's chief constable, said Mr Parchment was "an exceptional police officer" and had served with the force for almost 24 years.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
