ER24 paramedics suspect that the cyclist may have been a homeless man, as the basket in front of his bicycle seemed to hold all of his worldly possessions. They were strewn across the road following the accident.
An 18 wheeler truck, travelling on the main road between Meyerton and Heildelburg, about five kilometers outside of Meyerton, collided with the cyclist causing the tragic event.
The man who appeared to be in his fourties sustained multiple broken bones, and severe fatal injuries after an 18 wheeler truck knocked him off his bicycle. It is still unclear who was at fault when the collision occurred.
Unfortunately there was nothing further that could be done for the man in order to spare his life, and he was declared deceased on the scene.
The driver of the truck was left uninjured, but he was clearly concerned about the events that had taken place.
The police were on scene to take statements for investigation.
