Excessive speed is being investigated as a factor following the accident around 7 p.m. near Colville and No. 2 roads on Sunday.

The RCMP said the biker — who’s in his mid-20s — is being treated for a head injury, but at last word was listed in stable condition. Anyone who saw the crash is asked to call Richmond RCMP traffic services at 604278-1212.
