A pickup truck collision led to the death of one cyclist in Nanoose Bay.
Oceanside RCMP says the incident happened at 10:50 a.m. on Friday, when a report came in of a Ford pickup truck colliding with three cyclists on Marina Way near Carmel Place, leading to emergency services attending the scene.
While two of the cyclists suffered non life-threatening injuries and were taken to the hospital, the third cyclist died from the incident. The cyclist was a 79-year-old man from Qualicum Beach.
