A charge of careless driving have been laid after two cyclists were struck in Bolton July 8.
Caledon OPP reports the incident occurred at the intersection of Allan Drive and Queen Street.
The police investigation indicated a vehicle was travelling west on Allan and was turning right onto Queen when the pair of cyclists, aged 14 and five, were hit while crossing the street at the intersection.
Police said the two cyclists received very minor injuries.
Police are advising motorists to be more aware of cyclists and pedestrians during the summer, to be careful when turning and to share the road. They are also advising cyclists to use safety equipment when riding.
• Wear reflective and bright clothing.
• Use lights after dark — A bike must have a white front light and a red light to the rear or reflector if you ride 30 minutes before sunset and 30 minutes hour after sunrise and white reflective tape on the front forks and red reflective tape on the rear forks.
• Wear a helmet — By law, every cyclist under the age of 18 must wear an approved helmet.
• Use a bell or horn — A bicycle must be equipped with a bell or a horn in proper working order.
