A motorcyclist is dead after colliding with a car in Toronto early Saturday morning.

The crash happened around 1:20 a.m. near St. Clair Avenue W. and Dufferin Street, Toronto police said.

The motorcyclist, a 32-year-old man, was riding a 2017 Kawasaki motorcycle westbound on St. Clair Avenue W. when he struck a Honda Civic, police said in a news release Saturday.

The driver of the Civic, a 22-year-old woman, had made a left turn to go north onto Dufferin Street, police said.

The motorcyclist was ejected from his bike. He was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries, where he later died.

Police said in the release that the driver of the Civic remained on scene and was cooperative.

Police initially said the driver did not remain on scene in a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday morning, but they posted a correction in the early afternoon.

All roads in the area reopened after 1 p.m. on Saturday.

Anyone with information or who may have surveillance footage of the incident is asked to contact investigators.
