A woman has died after being involved in a bicycle accident in Tofino.
B.C. Coroners Service spokesperson Barbara McLintock told the Westerly News on Thursday that the woman was in her 50’s and was visiting the area from out-of-province when the accident occurred on Lone Cone Road on the morning of Aug. 5.
The woman was transported to Tofino General Hospital and then to Victoria General Hospital, where she died the following morning, according to McLintock.
She said “there was no motor vehicle involved,” nor were any other people involved in the accident. The Coroners Service has not yet confirmed whether the woman was wearing a helmet.
“That is still under investigation,” McLintock said.
