At approximately 6:10 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 29, 2014, a 54-year-old male was riding his electric bicycle on a sidewalk westbound on the north side of 132 Avenue just before 127 Street.
An unknown car traveling eastbound on 132 Avenue made a left-hand turn into the entrance way of a gas station parking lot and struck the cyclist on the sidewalk before driving off.
The cyclist suffered unknown injuries and was able to return home to have a friend take him to hospital. The 54-year-old man was found to have serious but non-life-threatening injuries, and currently remains in hospital. The man was not wearing a helmet at the time.
EPS West Division officers continue to investigate the collision and are looking for witnesses. It is believed that a passerby stopped briefly to check on the man's condition. Police would also like to speak to the driver of the car to determine what happened.
