“He was transported by paramedics to the hospital in critical condition with significant injuries,” Hamilton Paramedic Service spokesperson Dave Thompson told Global News. “He was pronounced dead at the hospital.”

Hamilton police reconstruction teams believe the black 2008 Kawasaki ZX6 motorcycle was travelling westbound and attempted to exit the road when it collided with a rock face along the north side of Industrial Drive.

Police believe a “high rate of speed” was a factor in the crash.
