A man is dead after an early morning crash involving a motorcycle and a transport truck in Brampton.

Emergency crews were called to the intersection of Airport Road and Clark Boulevard around 4 a.m. on Monday for reports of a crash.

The motorcyclist, a man in his 60s from Brampton, was pronounced dead at the scene. No other injuries were reported.

Police say the truck was travelling northbound on Airport and waiting to turn left onto Clark. The motorcyclist was travelling southbound straight through the intersection.
