A 57 year-old male cyclist was killed today after a collision with an opening car door hurled him into oncoming traffic. He was the city's 20th traffic fatality this year.

The crash occurred as the man was biking eastbound on Eglinton Ave., near Braemar Ave., just after 1 p.m. this afternoon. The cyclist was struck by a Ford cube van after being hit by the driver's side door of a parked Volvo, police say.

He was taken to hospital, but died from his injuries around 5 p.m. this evening.

BTW; there's some site that's showing your image (along with other Flickr stuff) on their page without attribution. Personally I'd be peeved.
