Motorcycle, bicycle collide

Two people were treated by paramedics Thursday night when a motorcycle collided with a cyclist in downtown Kelowna.

The collision occurred just after 6:30 p.m. on Richter Street, just north of Bernard Avenue. 

Witnesses at the scene said the motorcyclist was travelling north on Richter Street when he collided with the person riding the bicycle. 

Three RCMP vehicles attended the scene, along with two ambulances and a fire truck. Emergency crews closed the northbound lane of Richter Street while paramedics attended to the two people involved. 

Witnesses said the cyclist was taken into an ambulance, but was conscious.  

The motorcyclist was initially treated as he lay on the sidewalk in a neck brace, before being taken to a separate ambulance using a spinal board. 

The extent of either person's injuries is unknown at this time.
