Appeal following serious crash in Perth

Road Policing officers are appealing for information following a serious crash in Perth.

The incident happened on Canal Street around 10.45pm on Saturday, 26 April, and involved a white Kia Sportage and a bicycle.

Emergency services attended and the cyclist, a 58-year-old man, was taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee, where he remains in critical condition.

The driver of the Kia was uninjured.

The road was closed for around 5 hours to allow for a full collision investigation.

Sergeant Mike Guild said: “Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances of the crash, and we are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident to come forward.

“We would also ask anyone who may have dash-cam footage from the area around the time of the crash to contact us as it could assist with our enquiries.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland 101, quoting incident number 4042 of 26 April, 2025.

Police Scotland support those who wish to become police officers, special constables or police staff by hosting various online and in-person recruitment events throughout the year.
