We have charged a man in relation to a serious collision that resulted in the death of a cyclist.

At approximately 6:55 p.m., on Friday, May 29, 2020, a cyclist was traveling east on 50 Avenue S.W. across the intersection with Macleod Trail. At the same time, a black Hyundai Elantra was turning left from westbound 50 Avenue to southbound Macleod Trail.

The Hyundai turned across the path of the bicycle, colliding with the cyclist.

The cyclist suffered serious, life-threatening injuries and was transported to hospital. He died on Monday, June 1, 2020 as a result of his injuries.
