Motorcyclist seriously injured in alleged hit-and-run on the QEW in Oakville

A motorcyclist has been rushed to hospital after being involved in a collision on the QEW in Oakville with a van that allegedly did not remain on the scene.

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) say they were called to the westbound lanes of the QEW just before Dorval Drive Tuesday evening.

The collision happened between a motorcycle and a light-coloured passenger van. The driver of the motorcycle, a 47-year-old from Oakville, was taken to a trauma centre with life-threatening injuries, which have now been downgraded to life-altering.

The driver of the van did not stop.

The two left lanes were closed for an investigation, but they have since reopened.

Anyone who saw the crash or may have dash-cam footage is asked to contact police.
