Police said a ute struck a cyclist as it exited the roundabout.
The cyclist suffered significant injuries and remains in hospital in a stable condition.
Police said there was heavy after-school traffic in the area at the time, and they wanted to hear from anyone who saw the crash and had not yet spoken to officers.
They are also requesting any photos or video footage that witnesses may have taken.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 105 and quote file number 260423/6885.
