A MOTHER cycling without a helmet while listening to music has died after being hit by a car.
The 36-year-old woman, from Hillside, was struck while crossing Melton Highway about 6.15am yesterday.
Sgt Kevin Hickson, from Wyndham highway patrol, said it appeared the woman was listening to music as she rode her bike.
“The cyclist wasn’t wearing a helmet, there are no lights on the bike,” Sgt Hickson said. “We think maybe she may have had … headphones on. There was a set of headphones with her.”
The tragedy happened on the corner of Gourlay Rd and Melton Highway, Hillside. Police are investigating whether the woman was crossing the road against a red light.
“From the witnesses and what we’ve been told, the light has turned to amber, one driver stopped and one has gone through, and the driver that has gone through has struck the cyclist in the northern lane of Gourlay Rd,” Sgt Hickson said.
“At this stage we’re just trying to clarify why she was in the intersection when the drivers had … an amber light. It would appear the cyclist has maybe entered the intersection against the red light.”
Sgt Hickson pleaded with cyclists to heed warnings about helmets and lights.
“Helmets save lives, lights save lives. Sometimes you’re just lost for words as to why people don’t get that,” he said. “Some cyclists think that because they’re watching they’re going to see everything, and that’s not the case.
“It’s just a sad day, a family has lost a daughter and a child has lost a mum.”
The woman was the third cyclist killed on Victorian roads this year.
The accident happened on the same day a grandmother believed to be missing was found in hospital after being hit by a cyclist while walking along the Yarra River.
Victoria’s road toll is at 35, 10 more than at the same time last year.
