WOLFVILLE, N.S. -- A Halifax cyclist out for a day ride in the Annapolis Valley was killed after colliding with a pickup truck, RCMP say.
The 30-year-old man, dressed in full biking gear and riding a racing bike alone Monday afternoon, died in hospital after the crash at the intersection of Ridge and Greenfield roads outside Wolfville.
"It's tragic," Const. Kelli Gaudet of Kings District RCMP said Tuesday. "It's a beautiful area to bike here."
Gaudet said the 911 call came from a passerby shortly before 3 p.m. Conditions were sunny and clear at the time, she said.
The cyclist was taken to the Valley Regional Hospital, where he died as a result of his injuries.
She said the investigation is ongoing but charges are not expected against the female driver of the truck, who was not injured.
"The truck driver did nothing wrong, certainly obeying all rules of the road and traffic devices," said Gaudet.
