An adult male on a bike has sustained serious but non-life threatening injuries after being struck by a vehicle in Centretown Friday afternoon.

Marc-Antoine Deschamps, Ottawa Paramedic Service spokesperson, told CTV News Ottawa the incident happened at 3:40 p.m. at the intersection of Kent and Somerset streets.

Ottawa police took to X to ask people to avoid the area while emergency crews were on scene.

The scene has since been cleared and the roads have re-opened.
