OPP Investigating Two Separate Motorcycle Crashes

Police in Middlesex and Norfolk counties are investigating two separate motorcycle crashes that occurred within hours of each other.

The Ontario Provincial Police say on Thursday around 4:28pm, a motorcycle travelling west on Egremont Dr. in Middlesex Centre, collided with a Terragator that was heading south on Coldstream Rd. The intersection is governed by stop signs.

Two people who were riding the motorcycle were rushed to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries. It is unknown if the driver of the truck was injured.

A few hours later at around 6:30pm, the OPP responded to Norfolk County Rd. 45 north east of Port Rowan, after another motorcycle rider collided with a vehicle at Norfolk County Rd. 28.

The driver of the motorcycle, a 63-year-old Norfolk County man, was ejected and had to be airlifted to a London area hospital for treatment of serious life threatening injuries.

The driver of the other vehicle, an 18-year-old Oxford County man, was not injured.

Police say charges are pending.
