A second motorcyclist, a 65-year-old man from Barrie, was airlifted to a Toronto-area trauma centre with serious injuries, where he was later pronounced deceased.
Two male riders from Sudbury, a 36-year-old and a 30-year-old, suffered injuries from the crash. The older of the two was treated and released at the scene while the younger was initially brought to a local hospital before being transferred to a Toronto-area trauma centre.
