WITNESS APPEAL OVER CYCLIST HIT RUN

Major Collision Investigators are continuing their inquiries into the
hit run collision yesterday evening.

Police are looking for a black or dark coloured Toyota Prado believed
to be a 2003 series or possibly a newer model.

It's believed the vehicle would have damage to the front passenger
and side area and a broken driver's external mirror.

The car was last seen travelling toward Frankston.

Below is a photo of a similar vehicle police are looking for.

Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

[flyingdutch]

My question is how did the drivers external mirror get broken when the cyclist alledgelly hit the passengers side.?

didnt the earlier reports mention the '4WD' clipped another vehicle first ?
perhaps this was the 'other-side' damage???

 

[rooman]

My question is how did the drivers external mirror get broken when the cyclist alledgelly hit the passengers side.?

Report in Age is that Cyclist was heading north on Beach Rd at Beaumaris yesterday evening 7:30pm-ish, Prado was heading south, side swiped another vehicle heading south, and crossed road into on-coming lanes and hit Cyclist head on, then Prado kept driving off and did a runner, leaving Cyclist in pieces on the roadway with head injuries...Cyclist taken to Hospital in serious condition.... ( per Age today in hidden article halfway into paper).
Police calling for witnesses, say a women and child on footpath also saw incident and want to talk to them too ( no info about how much at risk they were, but whole incident is a bad one and maybe could have been even much much worse...)

And if it's another damn alcohol-assisted "accident," can someone
sponsor me so I can fly down and personally headbutt the d!ckhead, I
mean, perpetrator.

Sorry, was in a hurry and thought a cut and paste of the police media
release might have been of interest. Sorry, my mistake, won't post
again.

Ah, don't be so harsh on yourself, we all make little stuffups now & again. Please feel free to post to a.b again. And don't let our flippant remarks put you off at all.

all good.. at first glance it looked a little like a 'boxkook' or 'blogturd' style post...

I'm sure we would all like to see this b***d caught!

My question is how did the drivers external mirror get broken when the cyclist alledgelly hit the passengers side.?

if you never look in the mirror you don't notice that it has been broken for months. It used to be useful for adjusting the lippie on the way to work from the school run, but now that there are sunvisor mirrors inside the urban assault vehicle who needs an external mirror?

It is of interest - I'm guessing there are a small number of witnesses who are all thinking "someone else would have come forward by now".

Thanks for the update; I hope that the driver is found. Anything that might assist in that is a good thing in my opinion.

cheers,

car makers may aswell do away with indicators,not many drivers use them. Nearly impossible to see the indicators on the new cars,some are almost clear. have you noticed them hard to see?
