Police say the investigation found the driver had come to a complete stop at the posted stop sign and had begun making a right turn onto Cameron Road when the e-bike, carrying two youths, entered the intersection from the sidewalk at a high rate of speed and rode into the vehicle’s path.

Investigators also determined neither youth was wearing a bicycle helmet at the time of the collision.

Police say the lack of helmets contributed to the severity of the injuries.

Based on the investigation, no charges are expected to be laid.

The Medicine Hat Police Service is reminding cyclists that Alberta law requires cyclists and passengers under the age of 18 to wear a properly fitted and approved bicycle helmet.

Riders and passengers on power-assisted bicycles, including e-bikes, must wear an approved helmet regardless of age.

Police say helmets significantly reduce the risk of serious head injuries and are encouraging all cyclists and e-bike riders to wear a properly fitted helmet every time they ride.
