The cyclist’s name was not revealed, but he was said to be in his early 20s and was heading towards Bridgetown at the time of the
accident.
The second accident occurred just after 3 p.m. opposite the entrance to the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security’s offices at Graeme Hall on the ABC Highway, where three cars collided.
The passengers in the two most extensively damaged cars, which included an elderly woman and a child, were all treated on the scene.
Police are investigating both incidents.
