A 50-year-old woman underwent surgery after a car struck her and another cyclist in the Paphos district on Thursday. The second woman left the scene before police arrived.
The crash happened at around 3.30pm on the road between Polis Chrysochous and Androlikou, where the two women were cycling, police said.
An 80-year-old driver travelling behind them tried to overtake. His car collided with one of the bicycles and hit both women.
The 50-year-old is being treated at Paphos General Hospital. She reportedly had surgery for a fracture to her eye socket and also suffered lacerations to her knees and face.
The second woman, whose details are not known, was unhurt. She left before officers reached the scene. According to the same information, she appears to be staying in the country illegally, and authorities are searching for her.
