A 31-year-old cyclist was rushed to hospital early Monday after being struck by a car in Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie.

According to police it happened at the corners of Molson St and St. Joseph Blvd. at about 12:30 A.M.

Investigators believe the cyclist passed through a red light as an SUV, driven by a 72-year-old man, was driving through the intersection.

The cyclist suffered serious head injuries. His condition was upgraded to stable later Monday morning.
