Longtime Radio-Canada journalist Isabelle Richer is in serious condition in hospital after a truck hit her while she was riding her bike in Rougemont on Sunday.
Richer suffered injuries to her head and spine and will need months of rehab.
Her sister, who is posting updates on her condition on a Facebook page, says Richer is now out of a coma. The next step is to have her endotracheal tube removed, which will happen once orthopedists give the OK.
