Cyclist dead after Yorkville collision with dump truck driver
A cyclist is dead after she was struck by a dump truck driver in Yorkville Thursday morning, Toronto police say.
The crash happened around 8:48 a.m. in the area of Bloor Street W. and Avenue Road, Acting Duty Insp. Jason Bartlett told reporters at the scene.
The cyclist was going west in the Bloor bike lane when she exited the lane and continued on in the same direction, he said.
“At that same time, a dump truck that was also travelling westbound struck that cyclist and they were pronounced deceased at the scene,” Bartlett said.
“This is obviously a very tragic incident.”
The driver stayed on scene and is cooperating with the investigation, Bartlett said. A construction bin was sitting in a bike lane in the area at the time, he said, which will be part of the police investigation.
This marks the fifth cyclist fatality in Toronto this year.
Police are investigating after a cyclist was struck and killed by a dump truck driver on Thursday morning. As CBC’s Chris Glover reports, this is the fifth cyclist fatality in Toronto this year.
What appeared to be a Bike Share Toronto bicycle could be seen on the ground as police investigated, near a helmet and a pool of blood.
Elise Kayfetz looked at the scene with “a heavy heart” as she was biking to work in the same area Thursday.
“I’m just feeling for whoever that is and their family,” she said. “My heart hurts for the blood on the ground and the helmet that looks a bit broken.
“That could be any one of us.”
Albert Koehl, a member of cycling advocacy group the Toronto Community Bikeways Coalition, noted there have been several cyclists struck and killed in the area in recent years, including one instance just north on Avenue Road at the end of April.
“It’s absolutely horrid and heartbreaking, it’s all the more horrible to see it over and over again,” he told CBC Toronto. “It’s simply heartbreaking. It’s heartbreaking for all of us as a city, it’s heartbreaking for the family, it’s something we don’t want to see — and yet we see it all the time.
“It just underlines the fact that we need to see better cycling infrastructure, we need to see more action from city hall.”
Bloor was closed in both directions from Avenue Road to Bay Street Thursday morning but has since reopened.
