Residents have spoken of their shock at the deaths of two cyclists in an apparent hit-and-run crash in Hanham near Bristol.
A man and a woman, believed to be on a tandem, were killed on Lower Hanham Road just before 16:00 GMT.
The driver of a Citroen car involved in the crash fled the scene. A 38-year-old man later handed himself in to police.
Andrea Swerley, 28, who lives nearby, said: "It's just a shock, nothing like this has happened here before."
She added: "We got home and saw a helicopter in the air overhead and looking up the road, which they were just closing, we could see lots of police."
'Rapid response'The landlord of The Queens Head pub, Patrick Murphy, said: "It's just not nice that this has happened around here."
Officers set up a cordon round the scene of the crash and closed the road.
Numerous investigators scoured the area and two white tents were set up in the street.
A spokesperson for Great Western Ambulance Service said: "We sent an ambulance, paramedics, a rapid response vehicle and had an officer at the scene to liaise with the other services. But unfortunately both the patients were beyond help at the scene."
Detectives said the 38-year-old man who handed himself in at a police station has been arrested and will be quizzed later.
Officers have appealed for information about the crash.
