Wellington County OPP say a cyclist has been killed after a collision with a pickup truck north of Guelph on Tuesday morning.
It happened on Wellington Road 7 at around 6:30 a.m and police said the cyclist, an adult male, was pronounced dead at the scene.
“Upon initial investigation it appears that they were both travelling southbound on Wellington Road 7, towards Guelph from Elora,” said Const. Josh Cunningham.
The cyclist’s identity will be withheld until family members are notified.
The driver of the vehicle remained on scene, according to OPP.
Wellington Road 7 was closed from Wellington Road 51 to Eighth Line while police investigated the cause of the crash, but it was reopened just before 12 p.m.
“We have a duty to the person that died. We also have a duty to the other driver involved to find out what happened and the best answers for everybody we can,” Cunningham said.
The OPP wants to hear from anyone who was driving on Wellington Road 7 on Tuesday morning and saw the cyclist.
“We want to find out what sort of illumination was on the bike and things of that nature,” Cunningham explained.
