Ontario Provincial Police have identified the motorcyclist who passed away Monday following a collision with a vehicle in Norfolk County.
OPP say they were called to Norfolk County Highway 24 and St. John’s Road East shortly before 6:45 Monday morning, where they found a man with serious life-threatening injuries.
Chris Seitz, 54, of Norfolk County was taken to hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Investigators say a 22-year-old from Madoc, Ont. was driving a black vehicle south on Highway 24 and was about to turn east onto St. Johns Road, when a northbound motorcycle collided with the back of the vehicle.

He is scheduled to appear on the Ontario Court of Justice in Simcoe at a later date.
