The province’s Special Investigations Unit has been called in after an Oshawa man was killed following a single motorcycle crash in Whitby.
In a statement released late Saturday night, the SIU says a Durham Regional Police officer was conducting a radar stop on Highway 407 at Salem Road in Pickering when he observed a motorcycle travelling at a high rate of speed.
The officer began following the motorcycle.
A short time later the motorcycle crashed on the eastbound Highway 407 off ramp to Baldwin Street.
The 28-year-old driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
Ontario Provincial Police indicated at the time that speed may have been a factor in the fatal crash but made no mention that the motorcycle was being pursued by another officer.
