Toronto police are investigating a fatal collision between a motorcycle and a dump truck in Bloor West Village Tuesday afternoon.
Officers responded to Bloor and Jane streets around 3 p.m. on reports there were possibly serious injuries.
Shortly after emergency crews responded, a 70-year-old man was pronounced dead on scene.
“It appears that the motorcyclist was in the left turn lane to go north on Jane with the dump truck and for some reason… the dump truck essentially rear-ended and ran over the motorcyclist,” said Sgt. Brett Moore.
