Australian five-time Paralympic gold medallist Kieran Modra has been killed while riding his bike north of Adelaide.
The visually-impaired 47-year-old was hit by a car near Gawler about 7am on Wednesday and died at the scene, while the driver was not injured but taken to hospital as a precaution.
It is believed Modra, a married father-of-three, was riding to Clare from his Hallett Cove home when the crash occurred.
The swimmer and tandem cyclist won five gold and five bronze medals at eight Paralympic Games between 1988 and 2016, and two silver medals at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
