Sad news from Bayview and the 401:

A male cyclist was struck and killed by a city of Toronto dump-truck Friday morning near Bayview Avenue. Toronto Police said the accident happened at Fifeshire Road and Bayview, just south of Highway 401.

The truck was towing a trailer containing heavy-duty construction equipment. It appears the cyclist was travelling in the same direction and came into contact with the truck along a stretch of Bayview where the road narrows. The name and age of the cyclist have not been released. There's no word yet on whether charges will be laid.
