Manitoulin OPP investigating fatal motorcycle crash involving Espanola resident

The Nipissing West OPP is investigating the death of an Espanola man following a fatal motorcycle crash this weekend.

Constable Rob Lewis says on Saturday evening, around 5:00 pm, first responders attended to a two-vehicle collision, involving a passenger vehicle and a motorcycle on Highway 144 and Lavallee Road, in the City of Greater Sudbury.

He says the driver of the motorcycle, 33-year-old Mathieu Clement of Espanola, was transported to the local hospital by ambulance, with serious life-threatening injuries and was pronounced deceased at the hospital.

Lewis adds the highway was closed for under three hours in both directions, and the investigation is continuing.

A Go Fund Me has been set up to assist his family with the link available on our websites.
