An 84-year-old bicyclist was rushed to hospital after suffering “life-threatening injuries” in a Niagara-on-the-Lake hit and run, say police.
The rider is believed to have been hit by a truck or utility vehicle Thursday night while traveling on East-West Line at Concession 2.
A Niagara police spokesperson said the man was discovered by officers lying in a drainage ditch around 8:30 p.m.
That cyclist ended up being airlifted to an out-of-town hospital due to the severity of his injuries.
Investigators say the suspect vehicle could be missing a passenger side view mirror and potentially has damage to a front corner.
A collision reconstruction team is seeking witnesses or surveillance video.
Anyone with information can reach out to Niagara police or Crime Stoppers.
