A Wawa motorcyclist is dead after a collision in the Goulais River area.
Sault Ste. Marie Ontario Provincial Police say they responded to the collision involving a motorcycle and a pickup truck at the intersection of Highways 17 and 552 in Fenwick Township shortly after 11:30 this morning, with the motorcycle driver pronounced dead at the scene - they've only been identified as a 68-year-old from Wawa at this time.
The Office of the Chief Coroner of Ontario-Ontario Forensic Pathology Service is assisting the investigation - which involves a Technical Collision Investigator and Reconstructionist, as well as the North East Region Traffic Incident Management and Enforcement, TIME, team - with a post-mortem examination to take place at a later date.
17 remains closed between Post Office Road in Fenwick Township to Highway 556 in Heyden, though a detour is possible by using Post Office Road, to get to Highway 552, then 556.
It's unclear when 17 will reopen.
