News - A motorcyclist is dead following a crash July 23 on Old Highway 17 between Arnprior and Galetta Side Road at about 7:15 p.m. As of July 28, OPP still hadn’t released a cause or the motorcyclist’s name. According to media spokesman
Const. Rheal Levesque, the man was not from Arnprior or Ottawa. Witnesses on scene who said they heard a loud pop came running from their nearby homes on the rural stretch of road. The sun was hanging somewhat low in the sky near the site, which has a wide curve in the road.
