A 43-year-old woman who allegedly opened her car door into the path of a cyclist, triggering a fatal accident, was charged last week under the Highway Traffic Act.

A motorist who killed a cyclist with her car door as he rode along a Toronto street is facing a charge that carries the same $110 fine riders face for not having a bell on their bike.

Toronto police have charged the 43-year-old woman who opened the door of her car without looking and sent a cyclist tumbling to his death last month.
