Motorcyclist killed in crash Driver not from Ottawa or Arnprior: OPP Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com
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. A dark sedan-model car with two front airbags expired lay pressed against trees near the end of a dirt driveway.
Also on the eastbound side of the road, the motorcyclist lay in a ditch covered by tall grass. Rescue crews loaded him on a stretcher to be taken to a waiting ambulance a few feet away. Soon after that an Ornge air ambulance arrived on scene from the Ottawa direction. It considered landing in a corn field, then decided on a field next to a commercial parking lot on the westbound side of the highway. The ambulance made its way to the helicopter. Once loaded, the helicopter flew the patient off in the direction of the city. The driver of the car was also taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. It is unknown if they are local or not, but there is no suggestion that they are from social media.
