A cyclist suffered a serious injury after being struck at a McDonald's drive-thru in Oakville early Wednesday evening.

Halton police were called to the McDonald's at Upper Middle Road and Third Line at 6:50 p.m. They found a male in his 50s, who had "suffered a serious limb injury," Halton police Staff Sgt. Ray Bruce said in a statement.

The cyclist was taken to hospital.

The force's collision reconstruction unit was at the scene investigating Wednesday evening. In a telephone interview, Bruce said it appeared as though the car was in a parking lot adjacent to the drive-thru and went up on a low curb and into the drive-thru lane.

The driver remained at the scene, Bruce said. He could not say whether charges will be laid.
