A tragic accident on a busy highway in Burlington has left a motorcyclist dead and the road closed for investigation.
According to the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), the crash occurred on Highway 403 near Waterdown Road on Sunday afternoon. The motorcyclist, whose identity has not been released, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The OPP has closed the highway in both directions as they investigate the cause of the crash. They are urging drivers to avoid the area and find alternate routes.
The closure is expected to last for several hours as the OPP’s Technical Collision Investigation (TCI) team gathers evidence and reconstructs the scene. The TCI team is specially trained to handle complex and serious collisions.
At this time, it is unclear what led to the crash and if any other vehicles were involved. The OPP has not released any further details about the incident.
