He said as he watched a car travelling towards Te Puke something made him check his mirror, but what he saw he won't ever forget.
"It had crashed into a fence and started smoking a bit. I then turned around and zoomed back to find a cyclist lying in the middle of the left hand lane not moving at all.
"I freaked out for a second not knowing what to do but I knew I needed to get this man off the road as cars were still driving past.
"I gently pulled him off the road on to the grass and put him on his side."
Neketai said he then called police and helped the cyclist stay still and calm while he waited for emergency services to arrive.
"At the end off the scene I was shocked and speechless really because I see that man bike to work every morning and to see him lying on the side of the road was a fright for me."
In the wake of the incident Neketai hoped whānau would think before they acted and keep the advice from police in their minds.
"At the end of the day everyone has family and everyone wants there family to come home safely."
The incident comes just a week after a fatal crash outside Affco Rangiuru on Te Puke Highway killing 21-year-old Manepo Tapsell-Wafer.
The Maketū-born man died instantly when his car and a van collided about 5.40pm last Tuesday. The van driver, a man in his 40s, is in hospital with moderate injuries.
Meanwhile, a 31-year-old Gisborne woman remains in a critical condition in Waikato Hospital's intensive care unit after a two-car crash on State Highway 30 near Braemar Rd last Friday.
Waikato District Health Board was approached for a condition update but did not respond at time of publishing.
