News release

On May 4, 2022, at approximately 2:40 pm, St-Pierre-Jolys RCMP received a report of a motorcycle-semi collision which occurred on Highway 52 near the intersection with Highway 59 in the RM of De Salaberry.

Officers believe that strong winds may have caused the westbound motorcycle to drift into the oncoming lane where it collided with the eastbound trailer of the semi. The motorcycle driver, a 64-year-old male from Morris, was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries where he remains in critical condition. The driver of the semi was not injured.

St-Pierre-Jolys RCMP along with a Forensic Collision Reconstructionist continue to investigate.
