Police say a 51-year-old man is dead after his motorcycle crashed in east Windsor on Sunday night.

It happened around 8 p.m. on McHugh Street — not far from the WFCU Centre and Darfield Road.

Authorities say it was a single-vehicle collision.

"A preliminary investigation determined a motorcyclist was travelling westbound on McHugh, when he lost control of the motorcycle, struck a bridge guardrail, and was ejected from the vehicle," police said in an online statement.

The motorcycle rider was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police are asking anyone who may have witnessed the collision to contact them immediately.
