Toronto police officers say a male motorcyclist has died after a crash in east Scarborough Monday afternoon.

Emergency crews were called to Neilson Road, just south of Tapscott Road, just after 5:35 p.m.

An inspector for the service told reporters the collision happened at the intersection when the southbound motorcycle was hit by a vehicle.

The circumstances leading up to the collision weren’t immediately clear, but officers said the driver of the vehicle remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators.

Officers closed the intersection of Neilson and Tapscott roads as part of their investigation into the crash.

While investigators said they spoke with witnesses at the scene, they added they’re looking for anyone who might have surveillance or dashcam video.
