“At this point, the family (of the victim) has been notified and the investigation is continuing,” Schmidt said.
The fatal motorcycle crash comes on the heels the OPP urging drivers to focus on safety after a deadly Civic holiday weekend ended with 5 people killed in Ontario road crashes.
Anyone with information regarding this crash, or video that could help investigators, is urged to call the Toronto OPP detachment at 416-235-4591 or 1-888-310-1122.
