At approximately 7:35 p.m., Saturday, May 20, 2023, Southeast Branch patrol were called to a collision involving a single motorcycle in the area of 94 Street and 19 Avenue. It was reported to police that a group of motorcycles were travelling northwest on 94 Street, coming into a curve, when a Honda CBR 600 left the roadway, and the male rider was thrown from the bike. The rider was then struck by his bike and collided with a tree, while the bike continued on, striking a cement sign in the area.
EMS responded, however, the 33-year-old male rider succumbed to his injuries on scene. No other riders were injured, and all remained on scene and are cooperating with police.
