Injuries/fatalities involving illegal bicycle riding

R. M. Sweeney made this Official Information request to Ministry of Transport

The request was partially successful.

From: R. M. Sweeney

Dear Ministry of Transport,

Please provide recent instances (2000-2019) of injuries or fatalities involving illegal bicycle riding. Details of particular interest are the illegal behaviour of the cyclist (running a red light, failing to give way etc.), and which party was injured or killed as a result (the offending cyclist, a pedestrian, a driver etc.)

Yours faithfully,

R. M. Sweeney

Dear Mr Sweeney,
 
Firstly I would like to sincerely apologise for the Ministry's delayed
response to you. Your request was not logged appropriately and therefore
it was not actioned. This was an error on our part and I hope our lack of
response has not caused you too much inconvenience.
 
Unfortunately, the Ministry does not hold this data and therefore cannot
provide it. We are checking with NZ Police to see if they can supply you
with it but they haven't confirmed back to us as yet. We did not want to
keep you waiting further, so I wanted to let you know we are looking into
it, and as soon as we have a definitive answer I will get back to you.
 
Once more, please accept my apologies for the delay.
 
Regards
