A cyclist is in critical condition after being hit by a vehicle at Eglinton Ave. E. and Banff Rd. last night (Wednesday, July 30, 2014). The man in his 60s was struck about 11:30 p.m. He is in Sunnybrook Hospital with life-threatening head injuries. The man was not wearing a bike helmet, according to police. This intersection will be well-known to residents across South Bayview and particularly SERRA-area residents with the old Happy Convenience store on the corner. The distance between the traffic lights is longer than normal because Banff Ave is offset to the east on the part that runs north of Eglinton. It makes for a wide corner on the Eglinton side. But clearly, police will be trying to determine what the lights showed at the time of the accident. The impact, as revealed by the centre picture inset was very great. Eglinton buses both ways diverted to Davisville via Mt. Pleasant and Bayview during the investigation.
