Toronto Police say a 47-year-old father and his 11-year-old son were both killed when a motorcycle they were riding on was involved in a crash on Thursday.
Police said the crash happened in the city’s east end at the intersection of Kingston and Manse roads at around 6:30 p.m.
Duty Inspector Brian Maslowski told reporters at the scene that officers found a silver Nissan and a red Honda motorcycle involved in a collision.
“Officers immediately commenced emergency first aid to the rider of the motorcycle and the 11-year-old passenger,” Maslowski said.

Maslowski said the father was pronounced dead at the scene.
The boy was rushed to hospital where he later died from his injuries, Maslowski said.
“It’s very traumatic for all involved,” Maslowski said.
The person behind the wheel of the Nissan remained at the collision scene and is co-operating with investigators, he added.
Maslowski said it appears the collision happened when the Nissan made a left-hand turn and the motorcycle was driving straight through.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
