A cyclist is in hospital with serious injuries after being hit by a driver in Ambleside.
The collision happened around 7:20 a.m. Wednesday at the intersection of 11th Street and Marine Drive.
“(The) cyclist had severe injuries including a broken neck, pelvis and scapula,” said Const. Jeff Wood, West Vancouver police spokesman.
Witnesses said the cyclist, a West Vancouver man in his 60s, was crossing Marine Drive in the crosswalk when the driver of a grey Volkswagen came through the intersection.
“It looks like the fella drove straight through a red light,” Wood said.
Investigators shut down Marine Drive and detoured traffic for three hours. So far, no charges have been laid, although that can take several days in cases where there is a serious injury.
“They’re still looking for more witnesses so anybody with any information, if they could step forward and contact the West Vancouver Police Department, that would be fantastic,” Wood said.
