Pedal Power statement on death of cyclist on Lady Denman Drive
Pedal Power is absolutely devastated by the news of a collision between a motor vehicle and bicycle that caused the death of a cyclist yesterday on Lady Denman Drive near the Glenloch Interchange.
“Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the woman who died in this incident yesterday. It is an absolutely tragic event,” says Pedal Power ACT Executive Director Simon Copland.
“We still do not have the full details of what has happened, however, we understand that it is alleged that excessive speed was a factor. We have already received feedback from our members and the community who have told us they feel that Lady Denman Drive, and the area around this intersection, are unsafe. Members have raised concerns about excessive speed along the road, and sadly, in this case it has allegedly caused someone’s death.
“Pedal Power will continue to advocate for safer, slower streets across all of Canberra,” says Copland.
