West Shore RCMP have confirmed the fatality of an 82-year-old cyclist following a vehicular collision this week.
On Monday, May 11th, at around 12:54 p.m., officers were called to the scene of the collision at the intersection of Leigh Road and Mantle Heights in Langford.
The collision involved a Sterling dump truck and the elderly male cyclist.
West Shore RCMP say the first responder was an officer in the area who was flagged down by several bystanders that were providing first aid to the cyclist.
