A cyclist was pinned under a streetcar in Chinatown on Sunday, suffering severe but not life-threatening injuries.

The crash happened just days after a pedestrian was struck and killed by a TTC bus on the Lakeshore.

Witnesses reported that the 30-year-old cyclist cut in front of the streetcar. The collision happened near Spadina and Nassaua around 6pm.

The man was pinned under the streetcar for about 15 minutes before being freed.
