A cyclist has suffered multiple fractures after being clipped by a car at Tighes Hill yesterday afternoon.
Around 4:40pm, the 41-year-old cyclist was riding down Maitland Road when he was hit by a car whose driver, a 36-year-old Raymond Terrace man, failed to stop.
The driver continued down Maitland Road for about a kilometre before colliding with a parked car near the Church Street intersection.
Newcastle Police say the man has undergone mandatory blood and urine testing and has been charged with dangerous driving, while the cyclist is now recovering in the John Hunter Hospital.
