A motorcyclist is in life-threatening condition after a crash on Highway 401 in Toronto.

Ontario Provincial Police Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said Thursday afternoon that officers were at the scene of the collision on Highway 401 just east of Highway 400.

Schmidt said the single-vehicle crash occurred in the westbound transfer lanes from the collectors to the express when the “rider lost control.”

The victim was taken to hospital with critical injuries.

The OPP’s collision reconstruction team is at the scene investigating.

In an update just after 4:30 p.m., officers said the victim, a 32-year-old man, remained in hospital.
