York Regional Police (YRP) say a mom and her child were both taken to hospital with serious but non life-threatening injuries after the bicycle they were riding was struck by a vehicle in Richmond Hill on Thursday night.

Emergency crews were called to Elgin Mills and Redstone Road at around 7:50 p.m. for reports of a cyclist struck.

Police did not reveal the child’s age or gender.

It’s not clear how the collision happened or if any charges could be pending. The vehicle remained at the scene.

The westbound lanes at the intersection were closed for an investigation but have since reopened.
