A cyclist suffered life-threatening injuries after being hit while riding in View Royal on Sunday (March 24).

West Shore RCMP was called shortly before 5 p.m. for a cyclist hit by a driver in the intersection of Island Highway and Burnside Road West.

The 55-year-old man who was riding a bike was taken to hospital and the driver of the vehicle, a 21-year-old man was cooperative with the investigation, RCMP said in a news release.
