Cyclist killed in vehicle collision in Surrey, B.C.

A cyclist was killed in a collision with a motor vehicle in Surrey, B.C., on Tuesday morning.

The crash took place around 7:30 a.m. The cyclist had died of their injuries by the time officers arrived, Surrey RCMP said in a news release.

“The preliminary investigation indicates the cyclist was travelling westbound on 104th Avenue, east of the intersection of 120th Street when they lost control of their bicycle and were struck by a semi-truck towing a trailer,” it states.

The driver of the vehicle is co-operating with the investigation, RCMP added, and impairment and speed do not appear to be contributing factors.

Police closed a portion of 104th Avenue between 122nd Street and Scott Road to investigate and asked motorists to use an alternative route on Tuesday morning.

The RCMP’s criminal collision investigation team and integrated collision analysis and reconstruction service are examining the scene.

Any witnesses or motorists with dashcam footage are asked to contact the detachment at 604-599-0502.
