    VANCOUVER - A 71-year-old man has died after being knocked to the ground in a collision with a cyclist in Vancouver's Stanley Park.

    He was rushed to hospital, where he died early Saturday morning.

    Sgt. Randy Fincham says the 57-year-old cyclist was emotionally shaken but not injured.

    He remained at the scene and is co-operating with police.

    Fincham says the man is the second pedestrian to die in Vancouver this year.
