Unforeseen demise
The emergency crews were called to the scene for a report of a motorcycle rider who was on the ground, sustaining severe injuries after a collision.
Based on the reports, the man did not have any vital signs and CPR was performed. Sadly, despite the delivery of life-saving measures, the motorcyclist passed away on the scene a few minutes later.
The roads will be closed for a few hours as the police investigate along with a reconstruction of the collision. Additionally, motorists are requested to avoid the site.
