“The 40-year-old Trail man was cycling from Warfield to Rossland when the vehicle struck him travelling in the same direction,” Wicentwich said. “BC Ambulance transported the man to the KBRH for medical attention. The man was injured; however, he is expected to fully recover. Hwy 3B was closed for approximately four hours while investigators examined the collision scene.”
