It is alleged that the cyclist drove into the taxi.

The cyclist was found splayed out on his stomach in the left-hand lane towards Middelburg.

Emergency services were dispatched and the cyclist was taken to hospital by ambulance.

Minimal damages were sustained to the bicycle and the taxi, although the cyclist was treated for injuries to his leg.

The left-hand lane, south-bound, was cordoned off to allow paramedics to administer aid to the injured cyclist but the scene had minimal effect on traffic flow.
