VANCOUVER Police are investigating after a cyclist was seriously injured in a collision with a pedestrian last week, and are asking anyone with information to call police.
The 62-year-old cyclist was riding a Mobi rental bike west on Comox Street between Broughton and Nicola on September 1 just before 1 p.m., when he collided with the driver of a Nissan Sentra who was exiting her parked car. The cyclist fell off the bike and was transported to hospital with head injuries.
“We know there were people that came to assist the seriously injured cyclist immediately after the collision,” said Constable Tania Visintin on Tuesday. “Those people remain unidentified and it is unclear if they were just passing by or if they were witnesses to the incident.”
Anyone who witnessed the collision, or anyone with dash-cam footage, is asked to call VPD’s Collision Investigation Unit at 604-717-3012.
