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.
She remains in hospital and listed in serious condition as of Thursday morning.
Detectives say they are seeking witnesses and surveillance video. Anyone with information can reach out to Niagara Regional police or Crime Stoppers.
