He was transported to a hospital, said Montreal police spokesperson Benoit Boisselle. It’s unclear whether the man will survive, he said.

Boisselle said witnesses told police the man was heading north on St-Dominique and failed to stop at a stop sign before he turned east on de Castelnau, Boisselle said.

The driver, who was turning from de Castelnau to St-Dominique, did not have a stop sign.

The cyclist hit a trailer that the truck was pulling, Boisselle said.
