A Monday morning cycling accident in the Township of Georgian Bluffs left one man hospitalized and police are seeking witnesses.

Just after 11:30 a.m. Grey Bruce OPP say they joined paramedics in responding to a call for an injured cyclist in the area of Grey Road 1 near Wiarton Keppel International Airport.

Upon arrival, they found a 62-year-old man near a bicycle, suffering serious and life-threatening injuries.

The man, a resident of Georgian Bluffs, was transported to a local hospital before being airlifted to a trauma centre for further treatment.

Police shut the area down for several hours, trying to piece together what happened that day.

As the investigation continues, police say an order of events is still being determined and witnesses are urged to reach out to them.

Anyone who saw the incident or may have dash cam or surveillance footage is asked to contact Grey Bruce OPP or Ontario Crime Stoppers.
