A cyclist has several broken bones and a punctured lung after he says he was hit by the overhanging load of wooden pallets on a pickup truck on the Sea to Sky.
Amateur athlete and running blogger Todd Nickel was riding from the downtown Vancouver area on Monday morning, making it as far as Furry Creek before he was hit from behind.
“This hit me from behind going 80 km/h [50mph],” he writes in a tweet featuring an image of the pickup with the overhanging load.
