The Ontario Provincial Police West Region are calling on motorcyclists to make their safety a priority amid an alarming increase in the number of fatal motorcycle collisions this year.
To date in 2022 there have been 12 motorcyclists who have died in collisions in the West Region, compared to 7 in the same period last year.
The operator of the motorcycles have been at-fault in over 70% of all fatal collisions.
The recent spike in deaths is prompting the OPP to urge riders to protect themselves by ensuring intersections are clear of traffic before proceeding, wearing bright protective gear and enrolling in a motorcycle safety training program.
