The driver remained at the scene and called 911, with emergency personnel responding.

I have an online friend in Vancouver BC, but I doubt she would have any info since she is not a cyclist.

At least the motorist not only hung around but they called 911.

How is the cyclist doing?

Around that time, my friend was telling me more accidents happen around the DST changes.

Main and Terminal is a pretty busy intersection, 7 lanes on each street and heavy traffic, as well as a skytrain station so it's pretty chaotic. I'm glad the motorist stopped to help..
