A cyclist who sustained life-threatening injuries Friday after a crash atop the Broadway Bridge went through the back windshield of a sedan as his bike went over the car, according to a Saskatoon police officer on scene.

The crash occurred Friday morning on the 400 block of Broadway Avenue, shortly after another collision that left a silver minivan hung up on a curb.

The van was blocking part of the roadway at the time of the crash between the cyclist and the sedan, the officer said.

The cyclist, a 33-year-old man, hit the back of the sedan, according to a police spokesperson. He was rushed to Royal University Hospital with life-threatening injuries. The driver of the sedan, a 34-year-old woman, was unharmed.

A witness told CTV a significant amount of blood was left on the ground in the road’s bike lane following the crash.

Traffic restrictions were lifted in the area shortly before 1 p.m.
