A 34-year-old cyclist was transported to hospital with minor injuries on Thursday afternoon, after colliding with a vehicle in the 1300 block of Columbia Avenue in Castlegar.
Emergency services attended the scene around 4:14pm, observing the cyclist on the ground receiving first aid from members of the public.
It appears the vehicle was travelling south on Columbia Avenue and while attempting to make a right hand turn off of Columbia Avenue traffic stopped, preventing the driver from completing the turn, with the vehicle stopping and encroaching into the bike lane.
The bicycle approached from behind and clipped the vehicle, resulting in the cyclist falling to the ground.
The cyclist is anticipated to make a full recovery.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Castlegar RCMP at (250) 365-7721.
