1 min read

The Eastern District Serious Crash Unit is seeking information about a fatal crash on Monday 28 January.

The crash, involving a van and cyclist, occurred at the intersection of Railway Road and Southampton Street, Hastings, at 5pm.

The 13-year-old cyclist was critically injured and passed away today.

Police understand the cyclist was travelling east on Southampton Street.

He then crossed the Railway Road intersection in to the southbound lane of traffic before colliding with the northbound van.

Police are hoping to speak to the occupants of a blue double cab ute and a blue and grey people mover-style van that were travelling south on Railway Road towards the intersection of Southampton Street.

We would also urge anyone who has information that may assist this investigation to contact Senior Constable Tim Rowe on 06-877-0609.
