The swelling in his head has gone down and antibiotics are working to take care of a case of pneumonia, she said. "They said it might take hours or it might take days before he comes around," said the woman, who asked not to be identified. "I try to talk to him or hold him.

"There's not much you can do except send good vibes."

She declined to reveal her boyfriend's name and age, but said he is an IT specialist who was out for a bike ride when he was hit.

"It was just wrong place, wrong time," she said.

He was wearing a helmet, contrary to a previous report on edmontonjournal.com."He always wears a helmet when he goes out. He's so meticulous like that. So organized," his girlfriend said. The force of the crash split the helmet in two, police said.

The man was crossing 170th Street in the crosswalk at 95th Avenue when a vehicle allegedly ran a red light and collided with another car.

The force of the crash sent both cars into the bicyclist.
