680 News and the Toronto Star are reporting that a female cyclist in her 30's was hit by a car at Front and Spadina last night.

The female, 34, was heading north on Spadina Ave. when she was struck by a black Toyota heading west on Front St. W. at about 6:30 p.m.

She was not wearing a helmet, Toronto police Const. Hugh Smith said.

The driver remained at the scene and was questioned by Toronto police.

Witness accounts suggest the car was going through a green light at the time, Smith said.

The cyclist's condition has been downgraded to serious from critical.

I can overlook the not wearing a helmet... but not what sounds like crossing against the light.

A helmet can save your life, but not if you're riding through red lights.
