Currently Airport Road is closed between King Street and Castlederg Side Road. This portion of the highway will be closed for several hours while the OPP’s Technical Collision Investigators (TCI) attend the scene to provide assistance with the investigation.

The pedestrian was initially transported from the scene by EMS with life threatening injuries, but subsequently died as a result of those injuries. The motorcyclist sustained minor injuries in the collision.
