# Roads - General, 165 Barrington Street, Somerfield Canterbury 8024, New Zealand

Somerfield Canterbury, Christchurch · filed 7 February 2026 · report 7696574
https://www.chch.live/report/7696574

> While cycling down Barrington St outside 6/165 a large white van was parked on the side of the road. Moving out towards the centre of the road to avoid the van which had cast a large shadow I hit a fire plug which was capped well below the road surface. The front wheel of my bike sunk into the recess and threw me to the ground in front of oncoming traffic. Fortunately the white Toyota Hilux truck stopped and protected me and a person from the truck and a workman rushed to help me.
