A 24-year-old Calgary man was killed in a single-motorcycle collision on Highway 546 west of Turner Valley on the evening of July 7.
Turner Valley RCMP and EMS responded to the collision at approximately 9 p.m. A release from Turner Valley RCMP said driver inexperience and speed were believed to be factors in the accident.
Four motorcyclists were travelling from Calgary to Sheep River Falls at the time of the incident.
This is the second motorcycle collision on Highway 546 since June 9. On that day, Turner Valley RCMP responded to a two motorcycle collision near Sandy McNabb camping area. In this incident, two Calgary males were transported to hospital. One by STARS and one by ground ambulance with non life threatening injuries.
Speed was a factor in this collision and both Calgary males were charged with riding without supervision and careless driving, under the Traffic Safety Act.
Turner Valley RCMP would like to remind everyone to ride responsibly and follow the designated and posted speed limits. Failing to do so not only puts motorcycle enthusiasts but all motorists at risk.
