A motorcyclist has been seriously injured following a collision with a pickup truck on Tuesday night (June 20) on Highway 35 in Kawartha Lakes.
At around 7:45 p.m., Kawartha Lakes OPP and Kawartha Lakes fire and emergency services responded to the collision north of Ballyduff.
The driver of the motorcycle was airlifted to a Toronto hospital, where their injuries are reported as severe but not life threatening.
Highway 35 was closed from Ballyduff Road to Twigg Road, including the intersection of Highway 7A, for around three hours while police investigated and documented the scene.
Kawartha Lakes OPP are reminding motorists that motorcyclists are more vulnerable than other drivers.
Motorcycles are tougher to see than other vehicles and, with no occupant restraint safety equipment, motorcyclists have virtually no protection in a crash.
