Cyclist struck by car northeast of Goderich

(ASHFIELD-COLBORNE-WAWANOSH, ON) - A Central Huron woman suffered serious injuries after the bicycle she was riding was hit by a car Wednesday morning, July 29, northeast of Goderich.

Huron County OPP and the OPP West Region Technical Traffic Collision Investigation Team continue to investigate the collision that took place on Blyth Road (Huron County Road 25) near Council Line. 
 

At about 8:45 a.m., Huron County OPP and Huron County EMS responded to the scene. Investigators have determined a Volkswagen Jetta was travelling eastbound on Blyth Road when the vehicle struck a triathlon-style racing bike from the rear. The collision propelled the rider off her bike into an adjacent grass field.   
 

The injured cyclist, 41-year-old Julie SAWCHUK of Central Huron, was transported to hospital by air ambulance. She remains in hospital with serious injuries.

 

Blyth Road was closed for awhile Wednesday morning but is now open for travel.
