A 29-year-old male motorcyclist is dead after being struck by a vehicle in Scarborough over the weekend.

Toronto police say a motorcycle was travelling eastbound on Eglinton Avenue and a car, driven by a 60-year-old woman, was going westbound and attempting to make a left-hand turn at McCowan Road when the crash occurred just before 6 p.m. Sunday night.

The 29-year-old motorcyclist was transported to a nearby trauma centre, where he was later pronounced dead.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.
