Cyclist dies from injuries

A cyclist struck by a pickup last Thursday in Vernon has died.

The woman was hit by a black Chevrolet pickup at 6:20 a.m. while crossing 25th Avenue at the intersection of 35th Street.

It is an uncontrolled intersection. RCMP on the scene said speed does not seem to be a factor, but noted the sun at that time of day would have been directly in the driver's eyes.

Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk said, at this point, it doesn't look like any charges will be filed in the incident.

The case is now in the hands of the coroner's office.

The woman's name has not been released.
