67-year-old Edwardstown man dies after collapsing from his bike

Police are investigating the death of a 67-year-old Edwardstown man after he collapsed and died while riding his bike.

A cyclist has died after collapsing from his bike at Melrose Park on Tuesday.

Police and emergency services rushed to Edward St just before 3pm after reports a cyclist had collapsed from his bike.

The 67-year-old man from Edwardstown was pronounced dead at the scene, despite the efforts of emergency services.

Major Crash Investigators are examining the circumstances.

The man’s death is the 69th life lost on SA Roads, compared with 43 at the same time last year.

The 67-year-old cyclist from Edwardstown was pronounced dead at the scene.

It follows the death of cyclist Brad Prust, who died in hospital on Tuesday, July 18, following a mountain bike crash at Woodcroft the previous Sunday.

The Somerton Park man was taken by ambulance to the Flinders Medical Centre but died of his injuries.

The much-loved 41-year-old had been riding with a friend, who administered CPR at the scene, before an ambulance arrived.

His mother Dawn Prust paid tribute to her “capable and generous” son in an emotional tribute posted to social media on Thursday.

“My beautiful boy Brad died yesterday (Tuesday) after a catastrophic mountain bike accident on Sunday – doing what he loved,” she said.

Ms Prust said Brad loved people and would always be willing to offer a helping hand.
