Police say the collision analyst unit is still investigating.
Mayor Charlie Clark spoke about the incident on Thursday, saying he didn’t know much of the details, but said they’ll be looking into it further.
“Obviously we’ll be looking into it and understanding it, and we know with the death of Natasha Fox this is something that’s on people’s minds,” Clark said.
Natasha Fox was another cyclist who died in Saskatoon after a vehicle collision back on May 24 at the intersection of College Drive and Wiggins Avenue.
