Witnesses Sought To Hit And Run Cycling Crash At Tarro

BY IAN CROUCH

A Chisholm grandfather is searching for answers after he was severely injured in a cycling crash at Tarro last week.

Fairfax reports Trevor Simmons was riding along the New England Highway near the Palm Valley Motel at about 9am on Monday October 9 when he was struck from behind by a vehicle, sending him crashing to the bottom of an embankment.

The 65-year-old suffered a fractured hip and has patches of skin missing from all over his body - it was an hour before he was discovered unconscious.

The driver didn't stop and Trevor's family have taken to social media to urge witnesses to come forward.
