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.

Emergency services arrived just after 11 p.m. The injured person died at the scene, according to police.

Paramedics say the deceased was a man in his 20s.

Limeridge Road was closed for much of the overnight for an investigation. The roadway reopened on Tuesday just after 5 a.m.
