BURNABY — Investigators are seeking the public’s help after a fatal collision between a cyclist and a semi-truck in Burnaby Friday morning (Dec. 5).

Just after 8 a.m., RCMP frontline officers responded to a report of a collision on Sprott Street, near Kensington Avenue.

Despite lifesaving efforts, the cyclist succumbed to their injuries on the scene.

“Our Criminal Collision Investigation Team is working to determine the cause of the crash,” said Corporal Laura Hirst with the Burnaby RCMP.

“Our investigators are looking to speak with anyone who may have witnessed the collision and have not yet spoken to police on scene, or if you have dashcam video in the area, we ask you contact our investigators.”
