A Hamilton Police spokesperson says the collision, between a motorcycle and a Chevy pickup truck, happened just before 5 p.m. Tuesday on Wilson Street at Alberton Road, just west of the Ancaster Fairgrounds.

Investigators say that a 33-year-old man from Brantford, Ont. was riding his Suzuki cycle eastbound on Wilson Street when a westbound Chevy, driven by a 57-year-old Ohsweken man, was turning left onto Alberton Road South.

“The motorcycle and the truck collided causing the motorcycle driver to be thrown,” Const. Krista-Lee Ernst explained in a release.

“The motorcyclist was pronounced dead on scene and the driver of the pick-up truck, and 47-year-old passenger, were unharmed during the collision.”

A collision reconstruction team has not yet determined what factors contributed to the cause of the crash.
