Our Traffic Section continues to investigate a single-vehicle collision involving a motorcycle that left a man in his 60s with serious injuries.

At approximately 9:10 p.m., on Tuesday, Sept. 26, 2023, a collision occurred in the 600 block of Hunterston Crescent N.W.

At the time, it is believed a 62-year-old motorcyclist, was riding a 2008 Harley-Davidson, travelling east on Hunterston Road N.W., approaching the intersection of Hunterston Crescent N.W., which has a slight downhill slope.
