One person is dead and another remains in hospital following a single motorcycle crash Sunday afternoon on Highway 17.
Officers with the Nipigon detachment of the OPP say the crash happened just before 4 p.m. Sunday near Yesno Township. Police believe the wet roads led to the male driver losing control of the motorcycle he was driving.
The driver lost control while he was travelling uphill, police said. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
The female passenger was transported to the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre with unknown injuries.
The names of the victims have not been released. Police continue to investigate the incident.
