RIP. Another one.
Wait so it was a pickup towing an RV? That sounds like one of those blind corner situations. Plank Line and Ostrander Road sounds out in the sticks, people are probably flying out there.
Woodstock man… isn’t that where they always have crazy traffic? I saw something online once about motorcycles and trucks and it’s usually the truck “pulling out” but idk. Also why was the intersection closed for hours, like did they have to airlift him or something? Sad though.
I don’t get it, motorcycles are supposed to be careful but pickups towing RVs are huge, like how do they even see them at an intersection? Maybe the RV swayed the pickup and then boom. Either way, hope they find the footage because nobody ever has it when you need it. Tillsonburg roads feel sketchy sometimes.
