An opened car door resulted in a Mosgiel cyclist being taken to hospital yesterday, police say. Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said officers were called to Factory Rd about 3.15pm. A 63-year-old woman had been cycling along, but when the driver of a parked car opened the door she swerved to avoid it, moving into a lane. She then hit the side of a moving vehicle and was taken to Dunedin Hospital as a precaution. The incident served as a reminder to motorists to check for cyclists, Snr Sgt Bond said.
