One person is dead after a two-vehicle collision on the east Mountain Monday night, according to police.
Investigators say the crash involved a Hyundai Sonata sedan and a Kawasaki motorcycle on Limeridge Road East at Jamie Ann Street just west of Upper Kenilworth Avenue.
It’s believed the Sonata was travelling eastbound on Limeridge Road when the motorcycle hit the driver’s side of the Hyundai while the car was attempting a u-turn.
The rider was dragged about 100 metres before the vehicle stopped, say detectives.
Police are searching for the driver and possibly some passengers who fled the scene.
