When police arrived on the scene they found a man and a woman lying in the road with injuries.

A pick-up truck allegedly attempted to turn eastbound at the intersection when it collided with a motorcycle that was travelling northbound on Lauzon Parkway.

The 39-year-old male driver of the motorcycle was taken to hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased.

The 35-year-old female passenger of the motorcycle was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The 41-year-old driver of the pick-up truck was arrested and failed a breath test when he arrived at police head quarters.

He faces several charges, including impaired operation of a conveyance causing death and impaired operation of conveyance causing bodily harm.

The investigation is ongoing.
