Motorcyclist dies, teen son seriously injured in head-on collision with SUV near Cornwall
A motorcyclist died and his teenage son was seriously injured on Saturday in a head-on collision with an SUV near Cornwall, Ont., Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said, making it the second fatal motorcycle collision in the region in as many days.
Officers from the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry detachment responded to reports of a serious collision on County Road 18 near Chapel Road around 4 p.m.
A 47-year-old man from the village of Martintown, Ont., died and a 14-year-old boy who had been on the motorcycle was hospitalized with serious injuries, OPP said in a statement Sunday.
The motorcycle riders were father and son, according to OPP spokesperson Bill Dickson, who said the boy's condition had been upgraded.
"It was looking like life-threatening injuries initially but he remains in hospital in serious condition at this point," he said.
The driver of the SUV was arrested. Their identity and that of the motorcycle riders was not disclosed.
An investigation is ongoing with police appealing for witnesses.
The incident occurred less than 24 hours after another fatal motorcycle collision about 50 kilometres west. On Friday night, a motorcyclist died after colliding with a parked all-terrain vehicle on a rural road southeast of Chesterville, Ont.

Man wanted in connection with fatal Toronto stabbing arrested: police
Police have arrested and charged the suspect wanted in connection with the fatal stabbing of a 35-year-old man in the city's east end, after a week-long manhunt. Anthony Steven Oliveira, 24, of no fixed address, was arrested and charged with one count of first-degree murder, police say. Officers with the Niagara Regional Police Service located and arrested Oliveira near Falls Ave. and Clifton Hill in Niagara Falls on Sunday. The stabbing occurred behind a plaza near Danforth Avenue and Coxwell Avenue, on June 17 around 11 p.m. Officers found the victim, Ashkan Pournasir-Roudbane, suffering from multiple stab wounds after an alleged altercation between two men. He was rushed to hospital, where he died shortly after. Police said the victim may have been targeted because he was 'alone' and 'in an isolated area.' 'The victim was sitting down and had no chance to defend himself or flee,' Det. Sgt. Henri Marsman said on Friday. Pournasir-Roudbane was Toronto's 16th homicide victim of 2025. Oliveira was known to use public transit in the Greater Toronto Area - including in the regions of Peel, York and Durham, police said, and bulletins were sent to all the transit agencies. Oliveira has a history of violence and was also wanted by Durham police in connection with an alleged attempted stabbing in Oshawa on June 1. He was scheduled to appear in court Sunday afternoon. Anyone with information is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
