An accident this morning in Benoni left one person dead after he was knocked off his bicycle by a light motor vehicle.

It is believed that the driver of the vehicle failed to notice the cyclist crossing the road.

ER24 Spokesperson Russel Meiring said when paramedics arrived on the scene they found the man lying meters away from his bicycle on the side of the road.

Meiring said a light motor vehicle had stopped 50 meters on the side of the road. On assessment paramedics found that the man had sustained multiple fatal injuries in the collision and unfortunately nothing more could be done for the patient and he was declared dead on the scene.

“Fortunately the driver of the light motor vehicle did not sustained any injuries in the accident” Meiring added.
