A cyclist was reportedly struck by a pick-up truck on Alexis Park Drive Wednesday morning.

First responders immediately attended to the scene. The cyclist was reportedly upright and walking moments after the incident.

As of 6:45 a.m., RCMP remain on scene with the driver and the red pick-up truck is currently still on the road blocking one lane heading south between 32nd Avenue and 35 Avenue.

This is allegedly the second incident involving a vehicle hitting a person in the last ten hours.

Reporters have reached out to RCMP for confirmation and comments regarding both incidents.

More to come.
