A cyclist was hospitalised this afternoon after she was hit by a route bus on the Coast Road in Baħar ic-Ċagħaq.

The incident happened at about 4 p.m. The cyclist was hit by a bendy bus, which kept on going, with the driver apparently unaware of what had taken place.

The cyclist was taken to hospital for treatment, but her injuries are not thought to be serious.

Arriva said when questioned that it had been contacted by the Police with regards to the alleged accident.

"Arriva is collaborating fully with the police and conducting its own internal investigation in parallel in order to determine all the facts," the company said.
