A Montreal man has died after losing control of a motorcycle

A 37-year-old motorcyclist died after losing control of his car on Sunday in the Saint Laurent district of Montreal.

Police received a call by 911 around 2:30 a.m. When officers arrived at the Courval scene, near Hickmore Street and Highway 13, the man was pronounced dead.

“Attempts at resuscitation maneuvers were unsuccessful,” said Montreal police spokesman Veronica Comtois.

Police say it is unclear why the man lost control, but it appears to have happened while turning.

“The stage was protected [with a police line] to allow investigators from the collision investigation section to analyze it, “Comtois said. “They will try to establish the circumstances and the exact reasons for this event.”
