Three young people have been arrested by police investigating how a Christchurch cyclist was injured in a crash with a vehicle.

Christchurch police Superintendent Lane Todd said the arrests came after the cyclist was seriously injured while biking along Centaurus Road in the south of the city, on Tuesday.

Officers were also trying to track down a fourth person, and were "following positive lines of inquiry", Todd said.
