abc.net.au/news/elderly-perth-man-riding-e-bike-killed-/101516910Police are searching for the driver of a vehicle involved in a hit-and-run that killed an 86-year-old man who was riding an electric bicycle on the Mitchell Freeway.
The man was riding the black bicycle around 4:50am on Sunday when a vehicle, believed to be a silver Mitsubishi four-wheel drive, struck him near the Hepburn Avenue exit in Kingsley.The man was hit near the Hepburn Avenue exit, shutting down that section of the freeway. The part of the freeway where the man was found is undergoing roadworks, meaning the lanes were narrow and without an emergency lane.
Detective first class constable Benjamin Rooney said members of the public stopped immediately after the incident to call emergency services and try to revive the man. Constable Rooney said with the amount of debris left on the road, it would be impossible for the driver not to have known they hit a person.“We don’t know if the car slowed down or not – that’s under investigation.”Constable Rooney said the 86-year-old was likely alive for several minutes before dying at the scene from his injuries.“It's very unsafe, especially in hours of darkness,” he said."It can end catastrophically, as we know from events this morning.
