Cyclist killed at Dupont and Dundas West
What seems to have happened is that the cyclist lost control on the steep ramp leading down from the Dundas West access road, went through the stop sign, (or the other way round, which makes less sense to me) and ended up under a truck headed east on Dupont. Jay Martino is talking about early plans for a memorial ride next Wednesday.
