A cyclist was very lucky to only have minor injuries after being struck by a vehicle going 100 km/h near Deacon's Corner on Monday, Manitoba RCMP say.

The cyclist was trying to cross Highway 1 at Provincial Road 206 around 11:30 a.m., when she was hit by an eastbound SUV.

The 27-year-old woman was thrown from the bike, landing in a ditch.

She was transported to a hospital in Winnipeg with non-life threatening injuries.

"Apparently they were saying the cyclist was talking fine and only complaining of sore hips after being hit," said RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Paul Manaigre.

"Someone up above was looking after her today," he added.

The driver of the SUV was not injured, but the passenger was treated for minor injuries from glass shattering.
