Life-threatening injuries from crash east of Cornwall
23-year-old Quebec motorcyclist hurt on County Road 2 in Summerstown
A man riding a motorcycle was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries following a crash east of Cornwall on Sunday night, according to the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).
Emergency crews were called around 8:55 p.m. to County Road 2 between Arthur Street and Fraser Road in Summerstown, a spokesperson told CBC.
The motorcyclist, a 23-year-old man from Quebec, was found injured in a ditch. OPP said he was taken first to a local hospital and then transferred to a regional trauma centre with potentially life-threatening injuries.
The investigation is ongoing, police wrote in a social media post.
Investigators are trying to determine if there was any connection between the crash and a black car seen driving dangerously in the area. Police had earlier called it a two-vehicle collision.
A section of County Road 2 was temporarily closed overnight for the investigation but had reopened as of 3 a.m. Monday.
