Following an investigation, police say a pickup truck had been travelling north on Oxford Road 6 when it struck a motorcycle that was reportedly in the northbound lane.

Officers say the 52-year-old motorcyclist suffered life-threatening injuries and was later pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the pickup truck was not hurt during the incident.

The collision left the area closed off to traffic about eight hours, but it has since reopened.
