Cyclist Fatally Struck by Bus at Sydney Taronga Zoo

News summary

A cyclist in his 50s was fatally struck by a bus at Sydney's Taronga Zoo on Bradleys Head Road, dying at the scene while the bus driver and four passengers were unharmed. The bus driver was taken to hospital for mandatory testing, and police have established a crime scene with a specialist Crash Investigation Unit involved. Traffic diversions are in place, with the main entrance to the zoo closed and visitors advised to use alternate access points and avoid the area due to heavy congestion. A report will be prepared for the coroner as police continue their investigation, and authorities have urged anyone with information or footage of the incident to come forward. Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, a separate incident involved a tour bus losing control and hitting road divider fences in Sha Tin, injuring a 48-year-old cyclist who was hospitalized with facial and hand injuries. The bus suffered severe front-end damage, and the affected roads were closed temporarily, causing significant traffic delays before clearing by mid-morning.
