Driver to be charged following fatal collision

A 40-year-old woman will be charged after the vehicle she was driving collided with a group of cyclists last month.

About 6:20am on 27 August 2026, police and emergency services responded to a collision between a Hyundai Accent sedan and a group of five cyclists on Gungahlin Drive.

A 32-year-old woman died at the scene and another cyclist, a 39-year-old man, died in hospital on 3 September 2026.

Officers from ACT Policing's Major Collision Team commenced an investigation and today (Friday, 18 September 2026), issued the 40-year-old driver with a summons to appear before court.

She will appear before the ACT Magistrates Court on 20 October to face two charges of culpable driving causing death and one charge of negligent driving causing actual bodily harm.
