Wellington County OPP say a motorcyclist was killed on Friday afternoon following a crash involving another motorcycle and a pickup truck north of Guelph.
Emergency crews were called to the intersection of Wellington Road 19 and Sixth Line in the community of Belwood at around 4:15 p.m.
Police said two motorcycles were being followed by a pickup truck when the crash happened.
A man was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries and later died, while the woman on the other motorcycle suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the pickup was also treated in hospital.
Police have identified the deceased man as 65-year-old John Bott of Nichol Township.
