mudda Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Hi All, On my commute this morning - near sandton - cnr empire PI road and oxford ave - a cyclists was knocked by a car. I think the driver never saw the cyclists - its a very fast section and easy to reach speeds > 50km/ph The cyclist was surrounded by people helping - the carbon fibre bike was broken in two seperate pieces. The cyclist had a concussion and was dazed. The cyclist was in cyclelab kit (red). If you are that cyclist - may you make a speedy recovery and heal up good.
Tubehunter Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Oh no! Heal up rider! Did you witness the accident or arrive on the scene after it had already happened?
mudda Posted September 7, 2016 Author Posted September 7, 2016 after it happened ... the driver of the car was there ... a security company ... and 4 or 5 drivers who stopped to help...
kosmonooit Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Hope he/she is okay! Roads are insanely dangerous here, even in a car. Accidents do happen but its the general bad attitude, lack of respect for other users and selfishness of drivers that the crux of the problem.
Paulst12 Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Sounds like someone who may have been on the Engen morning race?
