POLICE probing another bike crash incident in our community.
A 29-year-old man is the most recent of four men killed following a collision between a vehicle and a motorcycle in South Etobicoke.
Police were called to Jutland Road and Kipling Avenue just before 3:30 p.m. on July 29 but it was too late.
Paramedics attempted life-saving measures on the young motorcyclist. He was eventually pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the vehicle remained at the scene.
It is believed the deceased man worked in the area and had just finished work and was going home.
Kipling Avenue between Jutland Road and Norseman Street was closed in both directions as police investigated.
There has been at least three other fatal motorcycle accidents in the area over the years, police said.
A 61-year-old rider was killed on July 10 following reports of a vehicle hitting a pole and a tree near Lloyd Manor Road and Eglinton Avenue West, west of Kipling Avenue, around 9:45 p.m.
Paramedics said a man was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries. Police said the victim died in hospital the next day.
The cause of the crash is unknown.
Then on June 20, a 35-year-old man was killed following a collision near Lake Shore Boulevard West and Forty Second Street in Long Branch around 10:15 p.m.
Police said the man was driving a 2018 Kawasaki motorcycle, which was travelling east on Lake Shore Boulevard West at a high rate of speed.
The motorcyclist then collided with the driver of the BMW, who was turning to the westbound lanes of Lake Shore Boulevard from Forty Second Street, police said.
The man sustained severe trauma, and despite life-saving efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
And last July 2015, another 29-year-old was killed after the motorcycle he was riding collided with a car again on Kipling Avenue at Jutland Road, north of the Queensway, just after midnight.
Police said it’s not clear which directions either vehicle was going but the car turned in front of the bike, causing the motorcyclist to hit the car and burst into flames.
Two people in the car were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Once again Kipling was closed in both directions from North Queen Street to Norseman Street for several hours.
