An 90-year-old cyclist and a teenage pedestrian were hospitalized after separate vehicle collisions in Ottawa on Tuesday afternoon, with one victim in critical condition.
The first incident occurred at approximately 2:10 p.m. at Fairbanks Avenue and Crestview Road in the city’s Alta Vista neighbourhood. An elderly man riding a bicycle was struck by a pickup truck and taken to hospital in critical condition, according to Ottawa paramedics. The driver involved was uninjured.
A second collision was reported around the same time in Riverside South, near Earl Armstrong Road and Canyon Walk Drive. Paramedics transported a male in his late teens to hospital with serious injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
Ottawa police are continuing to investigate both incidents.
