A cyclist killed in a Wanaka crash on Saturday was a Japanese tourist, travelling on the wrong side of the road without a helmet

Police say the 25-year-old hit the side of a vehicle at a speed.

Senior Constable Graham Perkins says investigations continue - and although he can't yet confirm it, the deceased appears to have been in the wrong.

Perkins is reminding motorists to maintain focus - and remember who has the right of way.
