Central Hastings OPP are investigating a fatal single vehicle collision.

A member of the public contacted police after finding a deceased male and his motorcycle in a ditch along Flinton Road, northeast of Tweed just after 4 p.m. yesterday.

The investigation is in its early stages and the OPP Collision Reconstructionist and Forensic Identification Services have been called in to assist. The identity of the deceased is not being confirmed at this time.

Flinton Road was closed between Robinson Road North and Elzevir Road for several hours. Anyone with information on the collision is being asked to contact the OPP.
