Really sad for all involved.
It still amazes me how people cycle on our roads with the constant efforts
of motorists. Last weekend I followed a car up the F3 and he was (at 0730
on a Sunday) weaving across all 3 lanes and lurching into the breakdown lane
(erm, where cyclists ride!) and almost bashed into me side on t one stage -
I had to go left to avoid him (into a bit of the breakdown lane). I called
000 as I followed and dobbed him in for attention. He kept going north
after I went off at Berowra - I hope he got there safely or Plod pulled him
up somewhere.

Cyclist dies after being hit by car

A cyclist has died and two others have been taken to a Sydney hospital
in a serious condition after a car ploughed into a group of cyclists.

The bike riders were cycling on the Princes Highway at Engadine south
of Sydney this morning when a car veered off the road, an ambulance
spokeswoman said.

A man died at the scene while a 43-year-old woman with shoulder
injuries and a 41-year-old man with shoulder and suspected head
injuries were taken to St George Hospital.

No further information was available, the spokeswoman said.

The accident brings to seven the number of people killed in six
separate accidents on NSW roads since Friday.

Last night, a 16-year-old died and six teenagers were injured in a road
accident involving a teenaged learner driver in country NSW.

The 17-year-old driver lost control of a utility travelling on a dirt
road on a private property at Manilla, 40km northwest of Tamworth,
about 7pm (AEST) last night.

The 16-year-old boy died at the scene after being thrown from the car
when it rolled.

The car's five other passengers and driver were taken to Manilla and
Tamworth Hospitals for treatment.

Also today, a man died in a two-vehicle crash which blocked northbound
lanes of the F3, north of Sydney.

The crash happened shortly after 6.30am (AEST) when a southbound sedan
and a van travelling north collided near the Berowra exit.
