A cyclist has died in a downhill crash on a hill above Christchurch today.
The cyclist, believed to be a man in his 50s, was cycling down Evans Pass Rd in Sumner at about 9.45am.
"Police investigations are ongoing, but witnesses report seeing the man travelling downhill prior to the crash," said Acting Senior Sergeant Jim Currie.
"Police have a number of witnesses to talk to and it is too early to say whether any other vehicle was involved in the incident."
The death has been referred to the coroner.
