A cyclist is fighting for life after being hit by a car on a major Melbourne highway, with multiple lane closures causing heavy delays for morning commuters. All citybound lanes of the Nepean Hwy, Elsternwick between North Rd and Glen Huntly Rd are closed due to the collision between a bike and a car about 5.30am on Monday. The male cyclist was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries. The 37-year-old driver of the car stopped at the scene and will be interviewed by police.
The lane closures have caused heavy citybound traffic on the highway, with drivers urged to use the alternative routes on North Rd, St Kilda St, Hawthorn Rd and Glen Eira Rd. Motorists have also been warned to allow for plenty of extra travel time. “We ask drivers to plan ahead for any travel in the area during the morning peak, and to detour early to avoid congestion near the closure,” the Department of Transport said. “The road will re-open when investigations are complete.
