An 84-year-old cyclist has died after colliding with a car driven by an 81-year-old man Friday morning at an intersection in the city’s east end.

Emergency crews were called just after 9 a.m. to Greenwood Ave. at Plains Rd., south of O’Connor Dr. The intersection remained closed until about 2 p.m.

A 2007 Toyota Corolla was headed south on Greenwood Ave. when it struck the cyclist, who was riding westbound on Plains Rd., police said.

The cyclist, who police say was not wearing a helmet, was rushed to hospital in serious condition. He later died of his injuries.

Bloodstains were still visible on the southwest side of the intersection at midday.

Eyewitnesses described the accident scene as “chaotic,” with onlookers screaming and unable to help.

The cyclist “was stuck underneath the car,” said George Munro, 67, who got there before police arrived. “He was groaning and moaning. He was bleeding on the face.”

Eventually police arrived, “lifted the car” and got him out, said another witness.

Sgt. Glen George said the preliminary investigation has not concluded who was at fault. No charges were laid. Police called the driver’s wife to pick up the car.

The names of the victim and the driver were not immediately released.

George urged all road users to obey the rules to avoid “the tragic results of a collision like this involving the death of a cyclist.”
