Police say a person has died in an accident in Osmaston Road, Derby.
The incident happened close to the junction with Shaftesbury Street just before 1pm today.
The area has been cordoned off and police are warning that the road will be closed for three to four hours.
It is understood that the incident involved a cyclist and a HGV.
It is expected to cause major traffic problems in and out of the city as Osmaston Road has become a diversion route following the long-term closure of London Road while bridge works are carried out.
A diversion is in place along Ascot Drive and through Pride Park.
Several police cars attended the scene, together with an ambulance and a number of people stood watching from the door to their homes.
Resident Jane Prjanikov, of Ivy Square, said: "I heard and then saw a lot of police activity which was quite alarming. I was quite shocked to see what was happening."
Saqib Mahfooz, of Dexter Street, said he was also shocked by what had happened. He said: "There is so much extra traffic on Osmaston Road because of the London Road closure, which doesn't help."
