A man has been charged over last Thursday's mass cyclist crash in Sydney which involved a bunch of 50 cyclists, including some past and present Olympic Games riders. A 34 year-old Claymore man has been charged with failing to stop after the cyclist piled up on Southern Cross Drive last Thursday morning, according to Australian news site Live News.

Initially the police were unable to locate the man and it was reported that he had gone missing. However the man has since been found and summonsed to appear in Waverley court next month.

The driver allegedly failed to give particulars at the scene before fleeing. His car has already been examined in relation to the incident, investigations are continuing.
