2019 Cycling Fatalities
Postby AdelaidePeter » Thu Jan 17, 2019 5:03 pm
A hit-run on the Princes Highway between Meningie and Kingston SE. I've driven the road quite a few times, and seen many cyclists. The road is not busy so there is no excuse like being unable to move over to pass.

My deepest sympathies to the cyclist's family and friends. I rode through there this morning probably only minutes before the collision but took the service road off the highway.find_bruce wrote:Sadly the first for NSW this year- Cyclist dies after being hit by a truck on the Federal Highway at NSW and ACT border. RIP brother
This from the Police Inspector at the scene sums up the attitude I see on the road everyday:
"Inspector Green expressed frustration at the impatience of some motorists caught in traffic queues.
"We had people in traffic yelling out obscenities due to the road being blocked, and that's really, really sad when it was very clear there was a collision."
"It might be a good idea for all of us to rethink how we treat each other on the road and be a little more courteous.""

Police are currently at the scene of a collision between a truck and cyclist on the Princes Highway near Allansford. A man in his mid-20 died at the scene.
A teenage boy is dead after colliding with a truck in western Victoria.
The 16-year-old rider died at the scene on the Princes Highway near Warrnambool about 4.30pm on Thursday.
Police updated the age for the cyclist who had first been reported as an adult in his 20s.
A man driving the truck, aged in his 60s, and another driver in a second vehicle who took "evasive action" to avoid the crash, were both taken to hospital, police said.

A teenager was killed when he was hit by a truck while riding his bike along the Princes Highway on Victoria's south-west coast.
The crash happened where Ziegler Parade merges with Princes Highway in the westbound direction. The speed limit there is 100. The article says the young cyclist was heading east and trying to cross Princes Highway there (crossing north to south as best I can make out).
As far as I can tell from the map, access to the town (effectively an outer suburb of Warrnambool) is designed to be pretty well impossible except by car.

"Police are appealing for anyone with dashcam footage of the collisions to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000."
The other day in response to a video I sent in, the officer phoned up and said... "I put my most experienced officer on it and he gave the driver a warning."
I said "interesting how when you get a video of a near fatality..... mine....driver gets a warning. Yet when people die, you want dash cam video of the event."
Police answer ..... "We don't entertain those sort of questions." that folks is a "go with god but go" answer...I went.

A cyclist has died after being hit by a truck at Newcastle this morning.
Just before 9.30am (Wednesday 20 March 2019), emergency services were called to the intersection of King and Perkins streets, Newcastle East, after a cyclist and a truck collided.
The cyclist, a woman, was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics; however, she died at the scene.
She has not been formally identified.
The truck driver was uninjured and taken to the Mater Hospital for mandatory testing.
Officers from Newcastle City Police District attended and will investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash.
A report will be prepared for the Coroner.

Those truck n dog trucks are just too damn big for the confines of the areas in which they operate, there's a lot of construction going on in and around Newcastle City with apartments and stuff being constructed and building being demolished to make way for them...it's been ongoing since the pulling out of the heavy rail in the CBD of Newcastle.
Perkins st which goes one way towards Hunter street is pretty much a steep down hill and King Street is up and down at the Perkins street end of town then is very flat after Brown street. The report doesn't give much info so it doesn't tell which way each was travelling.

May she Rest'n'Ride in Peace.
Condolences to her family and friends.

From Newcastle Herald
Newcastle police Chief Inspector Gerard Lawson said the cyclist died at the scene.
He said initial inquiries indicated the truck was turning left from King Street into Perkins Street when the incident occurred, with the cyclist ending up underneath the truck, suffering "significant internal injuries".

I can't find anything on the usual places I'd expect to (ABC site, WA police site, The Western Australian); or in fact any WA road deaths at all. So hopefully you misheard.familyguy wrote:I heard an ABC News radio report of a WA rider killed over weekend. Any confirmation?
