North Vancouver RCMP urging drivers to look out for cyclists after two incidents Thursday

North Vancouver's RCMP has raised concerns after two cyclist accidents occurred in quick succession on Thursday afternoon, prompting a safety warning to drivers. One cyclist suffered minor injuries and required hospitalization after colliding with a car door, which police attributed to the driver's failure to check for cyclists. Corporal Mansoor Sahak emphasized the importance of remaining vigilant, especially as the long weekend approaches, which is expected to bring more cyclists to the roads. He encouraged drivers to perform proper shoulder checks and increase their awareness of cyclists' presence. Thankfully, both incidents did not result in serious injuries, but they highlight the ongoing risks cyclists face.

With pleasant weather ahead, the police are advocating for heightened caution among motorists. This situation reflects a broader concern for cyclist safety in urban environments. Drivers are urged to prioritize cyclist visibility and safety measures to prevent future accidents.
