This is a sickening ongoing story . . .
"The incident began just after 11:30 p.m. with a Durham officer following two people on a motorcycle in the westbound lanes of the highway 401, just west of Brock St., Ontario Provincial Police say.
The cop, who was driving a marked police cruiser, claims to have “signalled” the driver of the motorcycle to pull over, OPP Const. Graham Williamson said Saturday.
But instead of stopping, the motorcyclist took off.
As the bike accelerated, the passenger fell off the back, Williamson said.
The passenger tumbled into the live lanes of traffic and is believed to have been hit by “one or more vehicles,” he said.
Remarkably, neither the motorcyclist nor any other driver remained at the scene to help.
The motorcycle passenger was pronounced dead on the highway."
The motorcycle driver left their passenger to die.
We drove by the scene unknowingly this morning & the hwy was still shut with a major jam in the opposite lanes as the OPP did measurements etc. Reading between the lines, I would say a cop was one of the vehicles that ran the passenger over. Reportedly a female. The biker has not been caught yet.
