On October 7, 2019, at approximately 3:40pm, St. Pierre RCMP responded to a collision involving a vehicle and motorcycle. The incident occurred on Highway 59 at the intersection of Oak Grove Road.
Initial police investigation determined that a pickup truck, traveling west on Oak Grove Road, proceeded through the stop sign and collided with a motorcycle that was traveling north on Highway 59.
