A 23-year-old man who was involved in a collision on the Red Hill Valley Parkway last week has died from his injuries.
23-year-old man's death marks 7th fatal motor vehicle collision in 2015
A 23-year-old man has died after his motorcycle collided with a car on the Red Hill Valley Parkway last Thursday. It's the seventh fatal motor vehicle collision in Hamilton in 2015, police say.
The man was driving a motorcycle northbound near Mud Street around 10 p.m.
As the driver approached the Greenhill Avenue exit, his motorcycle collided with a car being driven by a 21-year-old man. The impact caused the motorcyclist to lose control, police say, before his bike struck a guardrail and he was thrown into the road.
Police are not releasing the man's name, and say the collision investigation is ongoing.
Speed is being looked at as a possible contributing factor in the collision.
