Passerby’s in Oakville came to the rescue of a 60-year-old woman who was struck by a car while riding her bicycle.

The cyclist was hit by a vehicle leaving a store on the north side of Lakeshore Road at Cudmore Street at about 8:30 this morning.

She was trapped underneath the vehicle and that’s when residents came to help her. They collectively lifted the vehicle and allowed her to get out from underneath.

The woman was wearing a helmet which police said was severely damaged but reduced her risk of a head injury.

She was taken to Hamilton General Hospital where she is in stable condition with non-life threatening injuries.
