A 65-year-old man was seriously injured after being struck by a car while cycling in Montreal’s Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie on Monday afternoon. Montreal police (SPVM) received a 911 call around 3:30 p.m. reporting that a cyclist had been struck on the bike path at Saint-Zotique Street East and 16th Avenue. The victim sustained upper-body injuries. His condition rapidly deteriorated after he arrived at the hospital, and he was initially in critical condition. However, Montreal police later told CTV News his condition had improved and he was no longer considered to be in critical condition. The cyclist was struck by a 29-year-old driver who was attempting to park and crossed into the bike path. Police said they will interview the driver as part of their investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
