Car and cyclist collide

A female cyclist was conscious and apparently escaped serious injury after a collision between a car and her bicycle, near the corner of Hillside Rd and Andersons Bay Rd, Dunedin, about 7.05pm yesterday.

The woman was transported to Dunedin Hospital by ambulance (vehicle pictured in Hillside Rd), a police spokeswoman said.

Part of Hillside Rd was cordoned off for some time after the crash, but further details were not immediately available, she said.
