West Vancouver– An evening motor vehicle collision has put one cyclist in the hospital with serious injuries. 

On March 17, 2023, at approximately 1925 hours, West Vancouver Police, West Vancouver Fire and Rescue and BC Emergency Health Services were called to the south intersection of Cross Creek Rd and Eyremount Dr, West Vancouver, for a report of a motor vehicle collision involving a cyclist.
