{Vic} Cyclist down - Olinda

[cfsmtb]

On ABC 11am News, a cyclist has crashed at approx 9am on Olinda Rd and has suffered serious head injuries. The news item didn't mention whether the incident involved another vehicle or not.

Is this Olinda rd referring to The Wall, ie the Olinda-Monbulk rd?

From the story I heard (on radio national) 'twas a mountainer biker on a
trail, on cars involved. Hope s/he recovers quickly.

Yeah, and guess how it was reported on the nightly new. "A Scooter rider
died after the scooter struck a four wheel drive." The news item did not
go on to provide any details as to how the accident actually happened,
so I suspect they had no idea who really struck who...
