oclv110 Posted July 23, 2007 Share A car ploughed into three cyclists, killing one of them, on the Deneysville Road, near Green Point Prison in the Vaal Triangle on Sunday morning, paramedics said. The dead cyclist was thought to be from Dunkeld, Johannesburg, said ER24 spokesperson Werner Vermaak. The car was found on its roof 200 metres from the scene. Its driver was thought to have lost control of the vehicle after crashing into the cyclists. He sustained minor injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital. His condition was stable, said Vermaak. The other cyclists were not hurt. Vaal Triangle police were investigating. In January, 3000 cyclists protested in Mulbarton, south of Johannesburg, against the dangers they faced on the roads. This, after the deaths of cyclists Graham Cooper and Sybrand van Dyk. Cooper died on the Old Vereeniging Road on 21 January when he was hit by a truck overtaking another truck. Van Dyk died when he was hit by a taxi driver and dragged 30 metres on the N17 near Springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
