The 19-year-old killed in a collision with a cement truck on Thursday has been identified as Alexandra Foto.

The collision happened around 3:15 p.m. at the intersection of Wharncliffe Road and Riverside Drive.

London police say a westbound cement truck was attempting to turn north onto Wharncliffe when it collided with the westbound cyclist.

Foto was transported to hospital where she later died of her injuries.

The investigation continues and police are asking anyone who may have witnessed the collision to contact them at 519-661-5680.

Foto attended Sir Frederick Banting Secondary School and was set to begin her second year as a student at the University of Waterloo studying International Development, according to her Facebook page.

In a blog post for the University of Waterloo's Student Success Office, Foto wrote about a recent trip to Brazil with World Vision working to eliminate violence against children.
