RCMP in Penticton, B.C., are investigating a fatal collision that took place during a mass cycling event on Sunday.
Mounties say one cyclist was pronounced dead at the scene after they were struck by a car on White Lake Road near St. Andrew's Drive during the annual Okanagan GrandFondo ride.
They say two other cyclists sustained serious injuries and have been taken to hospital.
In a social media post by GrandFondo, organizers say they are heartbroken over the fatality and their prayers are with everyone impacted.
White Lake Road remains closed while the investigation into the collision continues.
