Members of the Peterborough County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are investigating a single motorcycle collision that has resulted in a fatality.
On Friday, September 27, 2025, at approximately 5:20 p.m., Peterborough County OPP, Peterborough Fire Services, and Peterborough County-City Paramedics responded to a report of an individual who appeared to have been ejected from a motorcycle on County Road 2, near Bensfort Road.
