G'day,

Would that accident have anything to do with a guy in a ute who ran into 
some cyclists in Canberra and didn't stop?

One of the guys who i am in touch with down there in Canberra was telling
me 
about it as he was riding in this group although he was further behind and

luckily not involved but was telling me about the guys who were hit.

Give him our best regards and hope he has a successful recovery.

Cheers
DJ
