Police tell Global News the 10-year-old boy was riding his bike alone, heading south on 16 Street when he was struck by a westbound van.

The child, who was wearing a helmet, was found conscious by emergency responders and was transported by EMS to Chinook Regional Hospital in Lethbridge, but his condition is not known.

RCMP said speed was not a factor and the driver of the van had the right of way at the time of the collision.
