A motorcycle rider is dead following a serious daytime crash in Niagara Falls, Ont., according to police.
Investigators say a 53-year-old rider from Welland is the deceased after a Wednesday collision between a bike and sedan.
Collision reconstruction teams closed off all eastbound lanes on Lundy’s Lane and a westbound lane following the incident around 1 p.m.
Investigators say the crash happened on a section of the busy roadway between Kalar Road and Beaverdams Road.
“Initial investigation has determined a 2020 red Toyota Corolla was travelling west on Lundy’s Lane when a collision occurred with an eastbound 2023 blue Yamaha R1 motorcycle,” a Niagara police spokesperson said in an email to Global News.
The passenger on the motorcycle is a 28-year-old female, also from Welland.
