A man is dead after his motorcycle collided with an SUV in Scarborough Tuesday morning.
Toronto police confirm they were called to the incident at Markham Rd. and Cougar Crt. at 8:22 a.m.
Police said a 50-year-old woman was driving a black Lincoln MKX southbound on Markham Road while a 28-year-old man was riding a black Kawasaki motorcycle in the northbound lane.
The Lincoln collided with the motorcycle at Cougar Court while making a left turn, police said.
The 28-year-old motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.
“The information that I have currently from investigators is that at this time, they do not believe that alcohol or speed were factors in this collision,” Ins. Jeff Allington told reporters at the scene.
“However, it is still early on in the investigation, and those are certainly things that they will be investigating.”
Police said the driver of the Lincoln remained at the scene.
“If you were in the area and witnessed the collision, I would ask that you contact police, either at Traffic Services or through Crime Stoppers, particularly if you have any dashcam footage that may have captured the collision,” Allington said.
