Map: Bassendean 6054


A 95-year-old pedestrian has died after being struck by a cyclist in the Perth suburb of Bassendean.

The crash happened on a cycle path next to Guildford Road about 2:30pm yesterday.

The elderly man sustained serious head injuries and was taken to Royal Perth Hospital by ambulance, where he later died.

The cyclist, a 53-year-old man, received minor injuries.

Police are seeking information from anyone who may have seen the crash, or who saw either the pedestrian or cyclist prior to the incident.
Albeit the risk of a pedestrian being killed by a cyclist is less than of being struck by lightening see http://acrs.org.au/wp-content/upload...-and-Risk..pdf
