The motorcycle driver who died from his injuries following a two-vehicle collision in Barrhaven last Wednesday night is being remembered by his family as the “proud father” of two children and a “talented” car wrapper.
Investigators identified the driver as 32-year-old Kevin Lepine-Charter on Monday, at the request of his family, according to a news release from the Ottawa police.
