A cyclist was taken to hospital with serious injuries after a collision with a vehicle in Vancouver on Wednesday morning.
Vancouver police were seen at the scene on Clark Drive, between East Broadway and East 12 Ave, setting up a few dozen evidence markers on the roadway.
Investigators said a 53-year-old woman was riding her bicycle at 6 a.m. when she was struck by a Honda Fit in an intersection.
The driver of the Honda remained at the scene and is cooperating with police.
Two ambulances attended the accident.
“Paramedics provided emergency medical care to one patient who was transported to hospital in serious condition,” said BCEHS Paramedic Public Information Officer Brian Twaites.
Anyone with information about the incident, including dash camera footage, is asked to contact Vancouver police at 604-717-3012.
The collision has led to cycling advocates voicing their opinions on the intersection — a hotbed for cyclist-vehicle incidents.
According to ICBC, the area saw 17 collisions that involved cyclists from 2019 to 2023.
“Three months (ago), a cyclist got killed at 11th and Clark. We wrote about how this was predictable and it was going to happen again, and here we are talking about another incident a block away,” Mihai Cirstea said, with Vision Zero Vancouver.
“It’s really scary … it’s infuriating and we are tired of it.”
Vision Zero Vancouver is a volunteer-led advocacy group.
The group said it believes more speed cameras could be a solution.
