    Having driven past the scene of the accident as the ambulance arrived, I was very upset. To then continue with my journey and see no less than 8 (yes EIGHT) cyclists not wearing helmets was quite concerning.

    I would urge all cyclists (wherever they are) to wear adequate protective clothing."

A cyclist killed in a crash on Mitcham Road has been named as train driver Neil Turner.

Police are appealing for a significant witness to come forward over the crash, which happened just after 5am on Tuesday July 10.
