Former ABC broadcaster Margaret Throsby is facing a long road to recovery after breaking several bones and suffering extensive head injuries in an e-bike collision with two teenagers riding a “fat bike” along a popular coastal walking track in the Illawarra region.
The 84-year-old remained in hospital on Thursday, almost one week after she was struck by the rider and passenger while on her regular morning walk in Bulli. She was thrown to the path after colliding with the e-bike, breaking her hip and thumb and bleeding extensively from her head. Doctors suspect she had broken another bone in her hand, which will be confirmed by x-rays this week.
