A young woman who tragically died after a lorry collided with her bicycle on the A52 near Markeaton Island, has been named.
Josephine Gilbert, 25, who was from Wirksworth, was pronounced dead at the scene of the incident in Derby on Tuesday 21 January.
Josephine’s family have paid tribute to ‘a keen cyclist who competed at local, national and international level and who was hoping to follow a career in Sports Management, having completed a Psychology degree at Loughborough University.’
They said that Josephine was ‘very close to her family both in Derbyshire and the South West.’
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tijl De Decker, following a training accident past Wednesday.
The team is heartbroken by this news and sends all of its love and thoughts to Tijl’s family and loved ones in this incredibly difficult time ❤️
