A motorcyclist was killed Wednesday afternoon after he ran into the back of an SUV that had slowed suddenly on Anthony Henday Drive, say Edmonton police.
Police were called at 5:40 p.m. to the scene in southwest Edmonton near Callingwood Road.
A southbound Dodge Journey was reportedly straddling two lanes when it suddenly slowed, police said in a news release Thursday. A motorcycle, traveling south in the right lane, struck the rear passenger side of the SUV.
The 31-year-old man riding the motorcycle was taken to hospital, where he died.
