A man was airlifted to a Toronto-area hospital on Saturday following a dirt bike crash at the Hope Mill Conservation Area southeast of Peterborough, Ont.

Just before 5 p.m., Peterborough County OPP, Otonabee-South Monaghan Township firefighters and Peterborough paramedics responded to reports of a dirt bike crash at the conservation area along Hope Mill Road, just north of the village of Keene.

“The driver was not wearing a helmet and suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries,” OPP said Monday.

The victim was airlifted to a Toronto-area hospital, where he remains.
