Condolences to the those that knew the rider.

From citynews.ca

The Toronto-bound QEW will be closed for several hours at the Burlington Skyway due to a multi-vehicle crash.

The OPP said it happened around 6:15 a.m. on Monday.

The multi-vehicle crash involved a transport truck, as well as a motorcycle.

Police said the rider of the motorcycle was pronounced dead at the scene.

No further details have been released.

EDIT:

From cp24.com. Looks like a nightmare to be anywhere near that debris field on a bike.

EDIT 2:
from thespec.com

OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt confirmed the woman, who was riding a motorcycle, died at the scene shortly before 6 a.m. Monday in the Toronto-bound lanes of the QEW, on the downside of the skyway.

Traffic slowed and the motorcycle collided with one of the vehicles. Then there was a "chain reaction" crash that involved three more, he said. No one else was injured.

EDIT 3:
Helicopter shot of scene during investigation. It is huge, there is even more debris than was apparent above. Condolences also go out to those that witnessed and/or were part of this tragedy, it won't be something that is easy to forget.

The Toronto-bound lanes of the QEW are closed at the Burlington Skyway this morning following a fatal four-vehicle crash.
The crash occurred at around 6 a.m. and a motorcycle and truck are among the vehicles involved.
The driver of the motorcycle was pronounced dead at the scene.
OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said he believes it will be a “long closure."
“It’s going to be a tough morning here on the QEW,” he said. “You are going to want to avoid that area as best you can.”

All traffic is being rerouted onto Eastport Drive.
 
That stretch from the crest of the bridge to the spaghetti junction almost always gives me bad vibes.

RIP Rider. Sadly, someone's loved one won't be home tonight. Condolences to the family and friends.
