Hours after St. Thomas police released a photo of a bicycle and a brief description of its cyclist, the public has helped identify the person seriously injured in a crash Tuesday morning.
“It was in the early morning hours this morning around 7:15 a.m.,” Const. Tanya Calvert told AM980.
“It happened on a popular pathway that runs north-south through the City of St. Thomas and the particular section of the pathway approaches Elm Street.”
Injuries were described as “significant” and police were only able to release a brief description of the cyclist and a photograph of the bicycle.
Just before 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, St. Thomas Police issued an update confirming the cyclist had been identified. Her name is not being released at this time.
“Thank you to everyone who called, emailed or messaged us information and especially to those who shared our post and helped us spread the word. With your help we were able to locate and contact family,” the release read.
The investigation into the crash is ongoing.
