On my way to work this morning, around 8:45, saw a fire trucks, police cars and ambulances arrive at the scene of the crash.

The bike was down on its side, at the corner of the sidewalks.  I couldn't see the rider but he may have been close to the bike because emergency crew was gathered around it.

I don't know exactly what kind of bike it was, but probably some kind of touring or sports touring bike... it has one of those luggage boxes mounted high up in the rear.  I just remember seeing the exhaust pipes and concluding it's a v-twin of some sort.

I hope the rider is OK.  There were no cars around that seemed to have been involved in the accident.  Also hope it wasn't a hit & run...

At about 6:15 PM tonight saw a couple big cruisers at the intersection of Fallowfield and Greenbank. One cruiser was down with a lot of front fairing damage and the other bike was upright parked beside him. Rider was heading north and I could see him bending over with someone talking to him. He looked more upset than anything. Could not see much just passing through, but I did not see any cars banged up. Hope they are ok.

RIP to the kid on the bike. As a father, I can't imagine what the parents are going through.

I have my own report. I went down yesterday on the Island Park Bridge. I was leading a group from work, keeping pace with traffic at 2 seconds behind the car in front of me. I glanced down at my mirrors to check on the guys, and a car, three cars ahead of me jammed on his brakes so he could turn down onto Bate Island. The cars in front of me jammed on their brakes and went in different directions. I looked up just in time to jam on my brakes, but the bike went down and slid under the car in front of me. My friends said it looked like I tried to maneuver, but my rear locked up. Another few inches and I might have made it. Bruised ribs, sprained finger and a little rash (from the inside of my jacket). I think the bike is a write-off.

[uberchuckie]

It looks like a red CBR F4 or F4i

Injured motorcyclist in the Carling collision last night has been downgraded to STABLE and has been identified as 26 yr old Kyle Ferguson - from CBC 2:30 news

(The name changed from the 2:30 report to the 3:30 report. At 2:30 they said Davis - media never gets it right.)

[uberchuckie]

I cleaned up the thread.  We'll keep it strictly for reporting like the previous years.

[d00dz]

Got 4 calls from co-workers yesterday about a red bike down on Island Park at ~5:00 pm yesterday. I must have just missed it when I rode by there. (Everyone's concerned in the office that I ride).

I can't find anything in the Ottawa Citizen website. Red bike, sounded like pick-up truck turned infront of him.

Based on the accidents so far this year.... looks like we all need to be a little more careful when driving.

Horrible news... I had not read anything in a while about the rider involved in that accident on Carling a while back.  Sadly he has passed away.

OTTAWA — A man in his 50s has died after a collision between his motorcycle and a car Monday just before 5 p.m. on Rockcliffe Parkway.

Wow sad story. RIP

From the Cornwall Standard-Freeholder:

CORNWALL - A collision claimed the life of a Morrisburg man riding a motorcycle Monday evening.

After 8:30 p.m., provincial police officers arrived at the scene of a deadly collision between a Mitsubishi sedan and a motorcycle on Country Road 18, just east of Dixon's Corners (the intersection of County Road 16), in South Dundas Township.


The man on the motorcycle, Robert Edgerton of Morrisburg, 55, did not survive the crash. He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the OPP.

Investigators have discovered that an 18-year-old man driving a Harley Davidson motorcycle from South Dundas had attempted to pass another vehicle headed west when he collided with the motorcycle ridden by Edgerton, which was travelling east.

There are charges pending against the 18-year-old driver.

He was not injured in the collision.

SD&G OPP officers are investigating the collision with the assistance of Technical Traffic Collision Investigators and OPP Crime Unit investigators.

The OPP urges anyone with information about the collision to call them at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

^ RIP...

PS. the police should also urge someone to jump in and proofread that thingy...

[RickT]

Slight correction to the above.  The article indicates that the 18 year old was driving a Mitsubishi and Edgerton was riding a Harley.

Charges are pending against the 18 year old.

RIP

[Ouagadougou]

It did sound convoluted . . . as if the rider got clipped by an 18-year-old on a Harley and then hit the SUV.

In any case, poor Edgerton. Yes, RIP.
