On September 26, 2015 at 12:35 a.m., emergency services personnel went to the intersection of Elmira Road North and Tovell Drive for the report of a collision involving a motorcycle and a car.
Upon arrival, GWEMS personnel worked intently to render aid to the driver of the motorcycle, a 51-year-old Cambridge man, who was critically injured. He was subsequently transported to Guelph General Hospital in serious condition and later flown to Hamilton Health Sciences Centre. The driver of the car, a 31-year-old Guelph man, was treated at the scene.
Investigation alleges that the 51-year-old Cambridge man was travelling southbound on Elmira Road approaching Tovell Drive on a 2012 Harley Davidson motorcycle. At the same time the 31-year-old Guelph man was travelling northbound on Elmira Road in a 2013 Chevrolet Cruise and turned left onto Tovell Drive into the path of the motorcycle. Consequently, the left front of the Chevrolet struck the left side of the motorcycle.
The estimated value of the damage is in excess of $30,000.
Elmira Road was closed for nearly four hours as investigators worked to reconstruct the collision.
