Oceanside woman receives three broken ribs after collision with dirt bike riders
QUALICUM BEACH — A local woman is nursing three broken ribs and other injuries after being knocked off her bicycle and into a ditch over the weekend.
The 63-year-old was riding along the 1100 block of Meadowood Way just before noon on Sunday, May 17, when a group of four dirt bikers began to pass her.
Sgt. Shane Worth said the group very obviously saw the woman.
“One of the riders in the group signalled to everybody else to slow down, however, while passing the cyclist, one of the dirt bikers struck the cyclist and forced her into the ditch. The bikers rode off, leaving the cyclist in the ditch for passersby to come upon her.”
