A cyclist is in a critical condition after being hit by a car that ran off the road on Tuesday afternoon.

The 39-year-old man was riding on the footpath along Gordon Road in Redland Bay when he was hit by a car about 4.15pm.

‘‘Preliminary investigations suggest the Toyota mounted the footpath,’’ a police spokeswoman said.

The cyclist suffered injuries to his arms, legs and face.

He was taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a critical condition.

The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppers.com.au.
