Two cyclists were injured Wednesday in separate collisions with vehicles, according to the Ottawa Paramedic Service.

Spokesperson Marc-Antoine Deschamps told CTV News Ottawa a man in his 50s was struck by a vehicle being driven on Bank Street near Gladstone Avenue at around 10:34 a.m. He was taken to hospital in serious but stable condition.

A second cyclist was struck by a vehicle being driven at the intersection of Elgin and Lisgar streets at around 3:50 p.m. Wednesday. The man was transported to hospital in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries, Deschamps said.

The Ottawa Police Service says both collisions remain under investigation.

Three people riding e-scooters were also hit by vehicles this week on King Edward Avenue and in the area of West Ridge Drive and Eliza Crescent in Stittsville.
