Two people were sent to hospital after a crash Tuesday morning on the Lincoln Alexander Parkway near Upper Gage Avenue in Hamilton.

Police say a man in his 60s, riding a motorcycle, was sent to a trauma centre in critical condition with life-altering injuries.

“A Honda motorcycle travelling westbound on the Linc collided with the rear of a Hyundai SUV, causing the rider to be ejected,” const. Krista-Lee Ernst told Global News in an email.

The driver of the SUV was also sent to hospital with injuries and remains in stable condition as of Wednesday morning.

The two-vehicle crash, which involved a motorcycle, shut down all lanes on the Linc for a half hour before eastbound lanes were cleared just after 9 a.m., according to police.

Westbound lanes between Dartnall and Upper Gage Avenue were closed well into Tuesday afternoon.
