A teenager has died after crashing his bicycle while riding at Canberra’s Stromlo Forest Park.
Police said the 14-year-old boy came off his bike at about 2:40pm on Saturday.
He was treated at the scene and taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries, but later died.
“The area is being considered as a road related area as Stromlo Forest Park is open to the public and designated for use by cyclists,” an ACT Policing statement said.
As a result, police said the teen’s death brought the ACT’s road toll for 2026 to eight.

An investigation is being conducted by ACT Road Policing’s Major Collision Team.
A report will be prepared for the coroner.
Police are asking anyone who witnessed the incident and has not already spoken to them to contact Crime Stoppers.
