VANCOUVER -- Recently updated data from the province's auto insurance provider suggests which of B.C.'s intersections see the most cyclist-involved collisions.

The data was posted last month and compiled from crash reports filed to the Insurance Bureau of British Columbia.

Here's a quick look at the numbers.
 

All of B.C.

Looking at the entire province, the following intersections saw the most crashes between 2015 and 2019.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, all intersections in the top were in the City of Vancouver. Because some intersections had the same crash numbers, more than 10 are included:

  1. Dunsmuir and Hornby streets – 28 crashes
  2. Burrard Street at the Burrard Bridge and Pacific Street – 26 crashes
  3. Campbell Avenue and Union Street – 19 crashes
