For those who don't know that area, there are multi-use paths (north and south side) separated from the road on Victoria St, where this cyclist was hit.

For a car to hit someone, they would need to be turning in or out of the business entrances without stopping/looking, which would mean they were at fault 100%.

No charges have been laid, but hopefully this will change.

Far too many cyclists being killed in Ontario. When are we going to take things seriously?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A 66-year-old man from Kitchener is dead after he was hit by an SUV while cycling in the city Monday night.

Emergency crews were called to Victoria Street N. between Frederick Street and Forfar Avenue in Kitchener Monday at 9:45 p.m. after receiving reports a blue Kia SUV had hit a cyclist.

The cyclist was taken to an out-of-region hospital with serious, life-threatening injuries.

Police said on Tuesday the cyclist has since been pronounced dead.

There was no word on whether charges would be laid in the case.

The Waterloo Regional Police Service said the investigation remains ongoing and anyone who witnessed the collision, or who may have dash-cam footage of what happened, to contact officers.
