Motorcyclist In Critical Condition After Tractor Collision

A motorcyclist is in critical condition after colliding with a farm tractor north of Listowel

The OPP says the tractor and motorcycle were both travelling west on Line 89 about 10:30am yesterday morning, when the tractor made a left turn into a driveway ahead of the motorcycle. The biker attempted to avoid hitting the tractor by laying down the motorcycle.

The machine slid to a stop and the motorcyclist was transported to hospital with major injuries.

The 69-year-old North Perth resident was air lifted to London.

Police closed Line 89 between Road 152 and Road 157 for several hours.

The Harley Davidson was extensively damaged.
