A 31-year-old female cyclist died after falling off her bike and being hit by a tourist coach on Keung Shan Road on Lantau Island.

Police said the incident happened at around 3pm on Sunday afternoon, when the woman and about 10 other cyclists were riding from Tung Chung to Tai O. The force said she reportedly lost her balance on a bend and fell, before being struck by a coach in the oncoming lane.

The woman, who is from the mainland, was pronounced dead at the scene. Police arrested the 59-year-old coach driver on suspicion of dangerous driving causing death and he was being held early on Monday for inquiries.
