A 68-year-old man died after suffering a "medical event" while he was cycling on a Coromandel road yesterday.
Waikato Police district road policing manager Inspector Freda Grace said emergency services were called to Whangapoua Rd, State Highway 25, about 5pm.
The man was cycling up a hill when he veered
left and collapsed, falling from his bike down a bank, she said.
A driver witnessed the incident.
"While initially treated as a road fatality, medical examinations have established the man's death was in fact a result of a medical episode," Ms Grace said.
