Police seek witnesses after motorcycle crash kills 2

Man and girlfriend die in Burlington motorcycle crash

Police are still trying to identify the cause of the fatal crash, which occurred on Guelph Line, north of the QEW, shortly after 9 p.m. The man and woman, both 31, were riding a northbound 2010 Kawasaki Ninja 600cc motorcycle when, for reasons unknown, the bike went out of control as the man attempted to make a left turn onto Mountainside Drive, police said. The motorcycle flipped, and the Waterdown man and his female passenger, who was from Burlington, were thrown to the ground, police said. After the pair was ejected, a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt driven by a 42-year-old Hamilton man struck the motorcycle and the man in the intersection. Police said they do not know if the car contributed to the reason the motorcycle went out of control. Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call investigators at 905-825-4747 ext. 5065. @ChrisKitching is on Twitter.

Bayonne family faces uphill battle after man breaks neck in motorcycle accident

While he won't be on his Harley anytime soon, Hahn won't be working, either. And the family's bills are piling up. His wife, Carmen, is an office worker, but her insurance is not coming close to paying the mounting medical bills. My biggest worry is my family," Hahn said. "Ive always been a handyman fixing things. Climbing up high places putting up windows and even helping put up the baseball netting at the field for the kids. But now I cant take care of my family. I want to get back to work and the way things were. We have over $1 million in medical bills, said his wife, Carmen. He just got finished with spinal surgery and he will probably need more surgery. I hope for him to get better, but I dont know if hell be the same, she said.
