Emergency crews were called to the area of Markham Road and Nugget Avenue just before 2 p.m.

Police say the motorcyclist was heading west on Nuggett when it was struck by an eastbound vehicle that was making a left turn onto a driveway. The vehicle then struck an SUV on a driveway that was waiting to exit onto Nugget street.

The motorcyclist was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries and died on Monday evening. The driver of the second vehicle was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

The driver of the SUV was not injured.

Police tell 680 NewsRadio speed is being investigated as a possible factor in the crash.  

Nugget Avenue was closed between Markham Road and Dovedale Court, but has since reopened.
