Cyclist hospitalised after hill fall

Tuesday 31 July 2018

A cyclist required hospital treatment after a fall yesterday on Mont Felard, which remained closed to traffic for much of the afternoon.

Police said the man, who was riding a black racing bike, was cycling down the hill towards St. Helier around 12:10 when he came off his bike.

The man suffered injuries that required hospital treatment.

Mont Felard was then closed to traffic for nearly four hours after the accident, resulting in a diversion on the Route 7 bus.
