ACT Policing is seeking assistance from the public to identify a cyclist involved in a collision at Casey Market Town on Saturday, 20 January 2024.
About 8pm, a young child was struck by a cyclist who was riding on the footpath outside the Casey Jones pub.
Smh my head it should have been this thing then the child would be fine.
I find the focus on a cyclist doing a hit and run on a pedestrian to be funny. Like sure, it sucks and you could be injured but at the same time, bicycles are lightweight and fairly slow compared to cars (p=mv etc ). Heck even those fast >30km/h scooters are unlikely to kill you.
