The fatal motorcycle accident happened Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the intersection of St. John’s Road East and Cockshutt Road near Port Dover, Ont., police say.

OPP say they will be highly visible in the Norfolk County community on Thursday and Friday to ensure safety and assist with traffic-related issues.

The frequent roar of motorcycles drowned out warnings from politicians who had called on bikers to sit out their traditional Friday the 13th pilgrimage to this otherwise sleepy Lake Erie town because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
