    Green Kawi Down NB DVP Before Bloor

    Saw what looked like a ZX-6R down in the curb lane. No rider in sight and ambulance standing by but some activity over the guard rail. I'm wondering it its related to the post of biker over the rail on the Gardiner Expressway?

    EDIT: Read the rider died. RIP. The 680 report advises that the involvement of another vehicle is not ruled out.

    Yes this would be the call I heard. I specifically remember the officer saying "green kawasaki"

    Im watching footage of this on the news. i see a white pick up truck and a car. you can see the debris trail and where the police have marked the area where the rider went over the guard rail.
    its looking like someone might have hit the rider sending them over the rail.

    this is too much.
    RIP

    Just rode by there, and judging by how far it looks like he was thrown (based on where police were investigating) I can only hope he was killed instantly and didn't suffer. I feel for him and his family. RIP rider.

    I just went past on the go bus on my way home from work.
    Friday night, itching to get on my bike...seeing something like this really makes you stop and think.

    RIP Rider.

    Ride safe and defensively out there everyone.

    The vehicles may have pulled over as witnesses as I saw a string of them.

    I heard on the police scanner that it was a 2 vehicle collision.
