Police seek assistance in fatal motorcycle collision
Police are seeking the public’s assistance in relation to a fatal motorcycle collision that occurred in Halifax earlier this week.
On July 18 at approximately 4:30 p.m. officers responded to a report that a motorcycle had collided with a transport truck and trailer on Dunbrack Street near the exit ramps to Highway 102. The transport truck was not at the scene when police arrived. The motorcyclist, a 17-year-old-youth, was taken to hospital where he later died from his injuries.
Investigators have obtained video from the incident and are releasing a photo of a vehicle believed to be involved in the incident. They are looking to speak with the driver and locate the truck which is described as being blue/grey, with a sleepover cab and grill protector and was towing an empty tri-axle container chassis.
