OTTAWA – A 39-year-old man has been killed in a collision between a motorcycle and a tractor trailer.

The collision happened just before 6:30 a.m. at Rideau and Power Roads, just west of Hawthorne Road in Ottawa’s south-east end.

Police investigators said weather could have been a factor. A bright sunrise may have presented visual problems for the driver of the motorcycle who had been heading east on Rideau Road.

Rideau Road was closed between Bank Street and Hawthorne Road; it has since re-opened.
