Cyclist killed after collision with semi-truck Tuesday on Anderton Road

A collision Tuesday in the Comox Valley involving a commercial vehicle has killed a cyclist. 

Comox Valley RCMP said the crash happened just after 3:30 p.m. on Anderton Road in Comox, just north of Ryan Road, involving a cyclist and a tractor-trailer. 

Lifesaving efforts were offered by bystanders, Emergency Health Services paramedics, and Comox Fire Rescue fire fighters, but the 83-year-old cyclist passed away from her injuries. 

The road was closed for several hours while a collision analyst did a full examination of the scene. 

The driver remained at the scene, providing first aid to the cyclist and is now cooperating with the investigation. 

Initial evidence suggested the driver did not see the cyclist prior to the collision, and speed and driver impairment factors do not appear to be causes of the accident. 

The BC Coroner’s Service is conducting a concurrent investigation into the cyclist’s death. 

Anyone with information on the accident which hasn’t been shared yet is asked to contact the Comox Valley RCMP.
