A transport truck driver who hit a bicycle near Highway 405 and Stanley Ave in Niagara Falls has discovered the body of a cyclist, say police.
Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) say the driver called in the incident and told operators that he had struck something with his tractor-trailer around 3:00 a.m. on Wednesday morning.
OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said in a social media post that the driver later discovered a body not far from the collision.
“A body was discovered in the area. A 30-year-old man from Toronto is dead,” said Schmidt.
“We are seeking any witnesses that might have seen a bicyclist on the westbound side or Toronto-bound side [of Highway] 405.”
