A motorcyclist died and his teenage son was seriously injured on Saturday in a head-on collision with an SUV near Cornwall, Ont., Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said, making it the second fatal motorcycle collision in the region in as many days. Officers from the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry detachment responded to reports of a serious collision on County Road 18 near Chapel Road around 4 p.m. A 47-year-old man from the village of Martintown, Ont., died and a 14-year-old boy who had been on the motorcycle was hospitalized with serious injuries, OPP said in a statement Sunday. The motorcycle riders were father and son, according to OPP spokesperson Bill Dickson, who said the boy's condition had been upgraded. "It was looking like life-threatening injuries initially but he remains in hospital in serious condition at this point," he said. The driver of the SUV was arrested. Their identity and that of the motorcycle riders was not disclosed. An investigation is ongoing with police appealing for witnesses. The incident occurred less than 24 hours after another fatal motorcycle collision about 50 kilometres west.
