Police search for cyclist after Midland collision leaves pedestrian injured and in hospital

Police need the public’s help to identify a cyclist, after a collision in Midland that has left a pedestrian badly injured in hospital.

The crash happened about 4.40pm on Saturday when, police say, a man riding a bike on the footpath of Morrison Road and a 64-year-old female walking across Mathoura Street ploughed into each other.

The 64-year-old woman sustained serious injuries and was taken to St John of God Midland Hospital, before being transferred to Royal Perth Hospital for further medical treatment.

The male — who still remains unknown — stopped to assist the woman but left before emergency services arrived.

Major Crash officers are appealing for witnesses, or anyone with dash-cam footage, who saw a cyclist on the incorrect side of Morrison Road near Mathoura Street, Midland at the time of the incident.

Officers would also like to speak to the male driver of a Landcruiser Prado who stopped to help and spoke to the cyclist at the scene.

Anyone with information is urged to report to Crime Stoppers via www.crimestopperswa.com.au or by calling 1800 333 000.
