Critical incident investigation underway following crash – Casino
A critical incident investigation has been declared after a cyclist was struck by a vehicle in the state’s north.
About 9.40pm (Thursday 29 July 2021) officers attached to Richmond Police District were at an address on Churchill Crescent, Casino, for an unrelated matter when they noticed a cyclist riding without a helmet or lights on his bicycle.
Police requested the man stop; however, he continued riding and collided with a vehicle at the intersection of Churchill Crescent and Hotham Street.
He was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics, however, died at the scene. The man is yet to be formally identified.
The driver of the vehicle, a 20-year-old Queensland man, was not injured and taken to Casino Hospital for mandatory testing.
The man’s four passengers were uninjured.
The Crash Investigation Unit (CIU) is attending the scene.
A critical incident team from Tweed-Byron Police District will now investigate all circumstances surrounding the incident.
That investigation will be subject to independent review.
No further details are available at this time.
