Four bikes and a cage. Three dead, one helicopter ride, one treated at scene.

Condolences to the riders friends and family and best wishes in recovery for the others.

 
The site of that horrible crash is about 10 minutes from me, east on #7. That stretch of #7 from Lindsay to Omemee and over to the turn for Peterborough is often busy with traffic running at 90 to 95+ klicks, I`ve been on it hundreds of times. As it occurred at 6PM I wonder if the riders were heading home to Dunchurch and Barrie from a days ride. Where it happened is a long sweeping left that demands full attention, going west. I believe the 18 year old driver may have pulled onto #7 heading home to Peterborough, going east. His drivers door side impacted by one or more bikes, killing the driver and one rider, the 72 year old from Dunchurch. Every year numerous people die on that road, there`s no room for distraction or anything less than full attention. I don`t like using it at all and travel regional roads when going to my doctor in Omemee, forget #7.
