The North Vancouver RCMP are looking for witnesses and dash-cam footage in an effort to further their investigation of a fatal collision involving a cyclist and a commercial vehicle. The collision occurred shortly before 10:30 am on Monday at the intersection of Lonsdale Ave and 23rd St in North Vancouver.

North Vancouver RCMP officers were en route to an unrelated matter when they came upon the collision, where a woman had suffered significant injuries. “Officers immediately applied life saving measures on the cyclist, however, tragically, she was pronounced deceased by medical personnel a short time later,” said Cst.
