A man in his 30s was taken to a hospital on Sunday following a collision in Cabbagetown, Toronto police say.
Officers were spotted by CityNews on Parliament Street just south of Wellesley Street East around 9:30 p.m.
According to police, the man was riding an e-bike north on Parliament when someone parked in a car on the side of the road opened their door.
The e-bike rider tried to swerve out of the way, but crashed into the car door and was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
It is unclear if the person in the car looked to see if the roadway was clear before opening their door. Police say no charges have been laid and an investigation is ongoing.
Footage from the scene shows emergency crews standing around an e-bike that is laid on its side in the northbound lane on Parliament Street.
No other details have been released.
