This article has been revised – an error was made in understanding the time of day the accident took place.
A 31 year old Flamborough man was operating a 2007 Kawasaki motorcycle southbound on Guelph Line, north of Colling Road when just before noon on Sunday he collided with a car that was turning into the Mt. Nemo Conservation area.
The motorcycle rider suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. Due to the fatality, the Collision Reconstruction Unit (C.R.U.) was called in and took carriage of the investigation.
Guelph Line was closed in both directions for approximately three hours while the C.R.U. conducted their At-Scene investigation.
Police will not be releasing the name of the decedent at this time.
The northbound vehicle would have been making a right hand turn – the motorcycle going south would have been on the other side of the road.
How the two managed to collide is what the police needed hours to figure out – someone was not on the side of the road they were supposed to be on.
A terrible way to die.
Any witnesses to this collision are asked to contact the C.R.U. at 905.825.4747 ext.5065.
Why do they think the rider was in the oncoming lane, and not his own lane? The most common two vehicle accident scenario for motorcycles is someone turning left into their path.
