On July 18^th, 2024, at approximately 3:50 p.m., a section of 10^th Street East between 2^nd Avenue East and 3^rd Avenue East, was shut down for approximately half an hour while the Owen Sound Police Service investigated a collision that occurred involving a transport truck and a cyclist. 

The transport truck was travelling eastbound on 10^th Street East with through traffic (green light), when the cyclist entered the intersection travelling northbound on 2^nd Avenue East.  Traffic was heavy at that time.  Initial reports were that the cyclist became trapped underneath the transport, however this was determined not to be the case.  The section of roadway was blocked by Police to provide a safe environment for Paramedics to assist the cyclist and provide medical attention. 

No charges have been laid at this time, however the details of the cyclists actions are being confirmed.  The cyclist, a 35 year old female, suffered non-life threatening injuries as a result and was transported to Brightshores Health System by Ambulance.  Damage to the bicycle was significant, leaving it inoperable. 

The collision is still under investigation and the Owen Sound Police are asking any witnesses to contact the investigating officer, Constable Christian Ninniss at 519-376-1234 or cninniss@owensoundpolice.com.
