A 22-year-old motorcyclist who crashed his motorcycle on Calgary Trail on Oct. 16 has died in hospital. He was driving above the speed limit when, near 54 Avenue, he drove into a car whose driver was switching lanes as the motorcycle approached. “The motorcycle rider was looking behind at the time and didn’t look forward until just before striking the rear of the Corolla. He was thrown over the vehicle at impact,” Edmonton Police Service said in a statement on Friday. The motorcyclist died on Wednesday. No one else was injured. Investigators consider speed to be a factor in the crash.
