A woman is in hospital after being struck by a Lamborghini pace car during the Global Relay Gastown Grand Prix in Vancouver Wednesday evening.

Organizers of the annual cycling criterium race told CTV News the victim is a Grand Prix official.

The extent of her injuries is unclear but she was taken from the scene on a stretcher.

An area of Gastown was closed for the one-day cycling event, which consists of a 60-kilometre men’s race and 42-kilometre women’s race.
