That is terrible news. So, so awful. Thoughts to the family. Tragic. RIP. 

 

Honestly, it's just riding a bike. You shouldn't have to worry if you're going to make it home to your loved ones. It's supposed to be simpler than that.

How did you hear so quickly about the accident?

RIP cyclist, condolences to the family.

 

Just received the pics and does not look good.

 

It was a Red Merida.

The cyclist that died  37 years old.

 

He is married and has a 20 month old baby.

A trauma counsellor is going to see the wife. She was on the scene, but has been taken home.

 

The vehicle was doing a u-turn at the time when he collided with it.

 

The slip road into The Glen (the road is above Camps Bay High School) is not visible when coming down the hill and San Parks will be asked to cut back the bush. 

Signage will have to be put in place to warn people of the road being there.

I was on scene just a few minutes after it happened.

There's bush that's obstructing the drivers view when he looks to the right.

 

Is there anyway we can have that bush removed?
