A motorcyclist was airlifted to the hospital with unknown injuries Saturday morning following a crash in Bayham, Ont.

Emergency crews arrived on scene at the intersection of Highway 3 and Culloden Road just shortly after 11 a.m. to a two-vehicle collision involving a motorcycle and an SUV.

According to OPP West Region acting Sgt. Ed Sanchuk, the motorcyclist was assisted by an off-duty paramedic, and other helpful citizens jumped to help out before emergency personnel arrived.

The motorcyclist suffered undetermined injuries and was airlifted to the hospital by Ornge for treatment.

“Thank you to all the good Samaritans who assisted me as I was the first officer on the scene of this crash. People directing traffic, to the off-duty paramedic that assisted that motorcycle operator, on behalf of the OPP and on behalf of the Sanchuk family, and from the bottom of my heart, I just want to say thank you for all of your assistance,” Sgt. Sanchuk said.

“You made a difficult scene just a little bit easier today, and I just wanted to say thank you.”

Sanchuk also reminded drivers to ensure to have your eyes peeled while on the road.
