"Officers were called to the area at 1 p.m. after the teen was riding his bicycle and attempted to cross King Street W. in front of a moving LRT vehicle, police said."
From the CBC:
"The male was struck and knocked off his bicycle. He was airlifted to an out of region hospital with serious injuries," police said in a statement.
On topic on this accident, cyclists need to understand that, unlike cars, these trains can't stop as fast, nor are operators expecting cyclists running in front of them. D-damn!
What I am not understanding anymore (and really for a long time), why this area doesn't have a proper trauma centre. The kid literally got into an accident in front of GRH. Yet they don't have the facilities to help out, with a regional population in excess of 600,000, we still have to fly out to, technically, smaller cities.
