A man killed in a crash in Vaughan late Wednesday night is at least the third motorcyclist to die in the GTA in about as many weeks.
York Regional Police said the motorcyclist died when he collided with an oncoming pickup truck on Major Mackenzie Drive, at Highway 400, at about 11:35 p.m.
The motorcycle was heading east, while the truck was westbound, said police, who shut down Major Mackenzie Drive between Jane Street and Highway 400 for about seven hours.
The motorcyclist died at the scene, despite efforts to revive him.
Police are investigating the circumstances of the crash and say it’s too early to determine what factored into the incident.
No other injuries were reported.
Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call police at 1-866-876-5423 ext. 7704 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
