A 24-year-old man has been charged after a fatal hit-and-run in Scarborough late Tuesday night.
The motorcycle was travelling along Brimley Road near Anson Avenue when it came into contact with a pickup truck shortly before 11 p.m. Reports from the scene suggest that the motorcycle rider and a passenger were then thrown from the bike.
