Default Perth cyclist killed after being hit by a car.

Heard on the ABC radio today that an elderly male cyclist was killed
today whilst crossing a road with his bike. Only details known are that
it was a four wheel drive and the police don't think it was speeding.

I saw it on the news. According to an eyewitness the 'cyclist' (who was
apparently an 89 y.o. man) was attempting to push his bike across Tonkin
Highway despite facing a red light. According to the witness, he
started walking across, then realized he had to hurry and started to
'run'.

The skid marks from the 4WD (A Nissan Patrol) started about where the
stop line is and went all the way across the intersection, veering from
the left lane into the right lane where it collided with the cyclist
(who will be classified as a pedestrian)

A rather fatal error in judgment.

Another stupid statement. The 82 year old guy was walking his bike across
Tonkin Hwy against the red light.

Why is it so stupid? We are told that 4WDs are less likely than a
conventional car to be able to avoid a collision due to high inertia
and poor handling/braking, also that they are more likely to kill/maim
because of their squarer shape and higher mass. Jono's comment seems
reasonable.

Whats the rule when crossing a intersection to continue on a bike path
with a cross walk?.
Do cyclist have right of way or have to dismount and walk with bike
accross the cross walk to rejoin cycle path? hope this makes sence
