Investigation continues into incident in the Fintry area Monday

 

A Lower Mainland man died in a crash on Westside Road Monday.

A  30-year-old Surrey man was driving a motorcycle southbound in the Fintry area at 5:52 p.m. when he crossed the centre line and collided head-on with a northbound SUV.

“The motorcycle driver was thrown from the bike and suffered fatal injuries upon impact,” said Const. Kris Clark, with the RCMP.

“According to witnesses, the motorcyclist was speeding, passing vehicles illegally and crossed the centre line into oncoming traffic.”

The man was also found to be prohibited from driving and was not wearing an approved helmet.

“No charges are anticipated against the driver of the SUV and investigators continue to assist the coroner in this investigation,” said Clark.
