Two people hospitalized after motorcycle crash in Beamsville

Two people are in hospital with life-threatening injuries following a two-vehicle crash involving a motorcycle in Beamsville, Ont., Sunday evening.

It happened shortly after 8 p.m. in the area of North Service and Bartlett roads.

Niagara police say a white 2022 Hyundai Tucson and another unidentified vehicle were driving westbound on North Service Road when the 22-year-old male driver of the Tucson collided with an oncoming black 2020 Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

The Tucson left the roadway and ended up in a nearby field, while the other vehicle continued westbound toward the Hamilton area. Investigators say they have not yet identified the driver or vehicle.

The 41-year-old man driving the motorcycle and his 46-year-old female passenger sustained life-threatening injuries and were taken to an out-of-region hospital.

Niagara police’s collision reconstruction and forensic services unit are now investigating.

Officers are appealing to the driver of the other vehicle, as well as any witnesses or nearby residents with surveillance or dashcam video to come forward.

Anyone with further information about this crash is asked to contact investigators at 905-688-4111, option 3, ext. 1009089.

This incident follows yet another tragic crash involving a motorcyclist on Saturday night in the city of Thorold.

Police were called out to the area of Holland Road and Merrillville Highway shortly after 10 p.m. for a serious motor vehicle collision.

There, first responders came across a 16-year-old boy with life-threatening injuries who had been riding a 2014 Ninja Kawasaki.

And while medical personnel attempted to treat him at the scene, he ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
