Geoff Besnard, the president of the Kiama Triathlon Club, was left with a broken pelvis after being struck by a car whilst out riding on Sunday morning.
Geoff was travelling southbound on the Prince’s Highway at the Shellharbour exit at around 11:30am on 24 Sunday when he was hit, which also took away a considerable amount of his skin.
Thankfully, three people who were travelling behind at the time stopped to provide Geoff with first aid, and one the bystanders even drove Geoff home. They said that they saw the car slow down after hitting Geoff, saw him lying motionless and then drove away without stopping.
A representative from the Kiama Triathlon Club said the club is working to identify the driver, but would also like to identify the three people that gave Geoff first aid and took him home.
“Geoff has been our president for many years, and travelled the world representing this country. Our club is so upset and shaken,” the representative said.
Anyone with information is encouraged to reach out to the Kiama Triathlon Club.
