A 22-year-old Oakville motorcyclist died last night following a fatal collision on Trafalgar Road.
Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) responded to a motor vehicle accident at the intersection of Trafalgar Road and Iroquois Shore Road around 1 a.m. on October 22. A motorcycle heading northbound on Trafalgar Road collided with an automobile, heading southbound, attempting to turn left onto Iroquois Shore Road.
The motorcycle rider, a 22-year-old man from Oakville, was pronounced dead despite efforts to save his life. A 29-year-old female, also from Oakville, was the driver of the automobile; she received minor injuries.
