The ambos and coppers were there when I passed through, police were talking to an older man who looked a little agitated, I assume he was the driver. The only damage I could see to the car was a broken right hand wing mirror, there was a bike in the grass a few meters away but it didn't look like it had too much damage either.

I hope the cyclist is ok

Another crash at Morphett/Northbourne this morning, police/ambulance & fire (?!) in attendance, cyclists standing around, a bike lying on the median strip. I'm going to assume it was a car/bike interaction, but nothing in the news.

I really wish people would ride that section more carefully, cars turning left onto Morphett or cars turning across Northbourne really struggle to see a bike in the shadows at that time of the morning. I always ride that section with lights ablaze, covering the brakes and assuming that the cars haven't seen me. But 90%+ of the cyclists I follow along there don't.

I saw that one mentioned here...

Edited to add - I have a similar street on the south side where cars going north along Melrose Drive often give way to oncoming cars turning right into Eggleston Street. Often cars might leave a gap so cars can turn through so NEVER zoom along there as its so easy to get taken out by a car driver who honestly cannot see you coming.

I hope those concerned are okay.

Yep, that's another dangerous one, although from personal experience through there it's mainly the drivers at fault rather than road conditions.

All road traffic accidents in ACT - have the mandatory 3 service response

And yet when I rang in a serious accident a couple of years ago they insisted I pick a service despite needing all three. Go figure... I wonder which service has the best call centre operators?

The telstra 000 operator will ask for a service to be nominated. In the ACT , Ambulance and Fire share the same communcation room and CAD (computer aided/assisted dispatch) program
