A cyclist sustained life-threatening injuries after being struck by a vehicle while riding in View Royal over the weekend
On Sunday, March 24th, at around 4:45 p.m., Westshore RCMP responded to a report of a collision involving a single vehicle and a cyclist at the intersection of Island Highway and Burnside Road West in View Royal.
“West Shore RCMP Frontline and Traffic Unit officers attended the scene and learned a sedan had struck a cyclist at this location,” media relations officer Cpl. Nancy Saggar.
The cyclist, identified as a 55-year-old man, was transported to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the vehicle, identified as a 21-year-old man, remained at the scene and cooperated with the police investigation, said Saggar.
