Constantia Nek Accident

Anybody know anything about an accident involving a group on Constantia Nek this morning, around 7AM? Apparently looked quite serious, paramedics and ambulances and CPR being performed on one rider.

Also cycled past the scene - looked very bad.

I am now hearing it was a heart attack, not a crash, but that is all I know for now.

We went up and over this morning and on our way down we heard all the sirens. I saw 6 emergency vehicles flying past.

My brother-in-law was riding with a small group and saw a chap lying in the side of the road. His immediate thought was that he had been hit by a car. They stopped and did CPR etc. They left when the paramedics arrived thinking that he had been revived, but he didn't make it.

 

Really very sad!

Really very sad. It was on the radio at 7.30,,, but mentioned a cyclist had been knocked down.

 

Thoughts with the family and friends.
