A motorcyclist died late Sunday afternoon after losing control of his vehicle at Terrebonne in Lanaudière.
The accident happened around 5:30 p.m. on Boulevard des Migrateurs. According to initial findings, the driver was traveling east on the boulevard when he lost control of his motorcycle for reasons that are still unclear before crashing onto the roadway.
“Police and ambulances were quickly dispatched to the scene of the accident to assist the driver. Unfortunately, his death was determined at the scene of the accident,” said Benoît Bilodeau, captain of the Terrebonne / Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines / Bois-des-Filion intercommunal police station.
No other vehicles were involved in the accident.
Investigators went to the scene of the accident with an accident scene technician to try to determine the causes and circumstances of the accident.
“At the moment all hypotheses are being examined to try to determine more precisely what may have happened,” police added.
Boulevard des Migrateurs was closed to traffic eastbound between the ramps of Highway 640 West and Rue de Bruant.
