Loss of control kills motorcyclist

An elderly man in his forties lost his life around midnight on Thursday, September 12, while riding his motorcycle on Chemin du Fleuve in Les Cèdres. Following a loss of control, the motorcyclist swerved, injuring himself and leaving emergency services fearing for his life. 

“Unfortunately, the victim died in the final hours. There is a speed bump on the road where the accident occurred. We don't know whether the motorcyclist missed it and was thrown further after driving over it at normal speed. A reconstructionist was called to the scene in the last few hours to understand and establish the circumstances of the accident,” says Sûreté du Québec spokesman Louis-Philippe Ruel.
