Charge Laid In Fatal Motorcycle Crash

Charges have been laid against a 63-year-old man in relation to a crash that killed a motorcyclist in Woodstock two weeks ago.

Kenneth Schlimme, 46, was killed when his Harley Davidson motorcycle collided with a van on Dundas St. at Churchill Place shortly before 7:30pm on August 18.

Woodstock police say the van's driver, a 63-year-old man, is charged with careless driving.

The crash came just hours after a 64-year-old Beamsville woman was killed on Hwy. 401 in Oxford County after her motorcycle hit the back of a car stopped in a construction zone.
