No other injuries were reported. The identity of the person killed had not been made public as of Monday afternoon.
Members of the London police traffic management unit were investigating the collision.
Anyone with information in relation to this incident, such as dashboard-camera footage or video surveillance, was asked to call London police at 519-661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
It’s been a deadly summer for motorcyclists in the London region and across Ontario. This death marks the ninth involving a motorcycle locally over the past two months, a trend that Ontario Provincial Police say is occurring across the province. It was enough to prompt an enforcement blitz on road monitored by the OPP.
Runaway bull returned to owner
Ontario Provincial Police say a runaway bull has been reunited with its owner.
It was about 7 p.m. on Aug. 17 when Ontario Provincial Police in Elgin County got an unusual call: A bull was “running at large” on Belmont Road near Ferguson Line, near the Central Elgin community of Belmont.
OPP officers worked with members of the public, police say, to corral the bull and safely transport it to a nearby farm. Police then put out a call for its rightful owner.
