BARRIE, ONT. -- Barrie police say a pedestrian hit by an e-bike rider was "not crossing the road properly".
The rider and pedestrian were hospitalized following the crash around 4 p.m. Tuesday near the intersection of Ferndale and Edgehill Drives.
The 45-year-old man on the e-bike was airlifted to a Toronto hospital where he remains in life-threatening condition. The 44-year-old male pedestrian was transported to local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
