Young national cyclist Jomari King is recovering in hospital after being struck by a vehicle during a morning ride in Collins.

King, who was cycling with two others, sustained injuries and is awaiting X-ray results at the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre.

His condition is stable, and he remains conscious and responsive, according to his father, fellow cyclist Omari King.

Police say the driver fled the scene, but witnesses managed to record the vehicle’s license plate.
