The cyclist was travelling southbound on Quadra when he collided with a Volkswagen, the driver of which was attempting a left-hand turn from Topaz northbound on Quadra.
A Shaw vehicle passing the scene stopped and with the aid of passersby went into swift action putting on emergency lights and blocking the area off with cones.

The man was taken to hospital in an ambulance.
B次元官网网址淭his is a really good intersection with east and west stop signs and clear markings for pedestrians on the crosswalk, and still a place like this with great visibility is experiencing collisions resulting in injury,B次元官网网址� Howe said.
He cautioned cyclists and drivers to be aware that as mornings get darker and wetter with the changing season, the elements can contribute to collisions.
