2. Cyclist bowled over in Weston:
- ACT Policing is investigating an incident in which a vehicle and cyclist collided in Weston today (January 28).
The incident occurred around 4.45am on Namatjira Drive at the intersection with Hindmarsh Drive. The 19-year-old cyclist was conveyed to the Canberra Hospital and remains in a stable condition.
The 20-year-old driver of the Mitsubishi Lancer involved in the incident is assisting police with their inquiries.
ACT Policing’s Acting Superintendent Peter Davis has urged drivers and cyclists not to be complacent when sharing Canberra’s roads.
“At dawn and dusk visibility is reduced and it is when cyclists are on the road. Cyclists must wear appropriate protective equipment including a helmet, reflective clothing and lights, and should never assume they have been seen,” A/Supt Davis said.
“Cyclist must also obey all road rules including stopping at red lights and stop signs, and be continually aware of their surroundings. Equally drivers should be constantly on the look out for them ahead and behind, and make regular checks in mirrors and blind spots.”
