Calgary police say speed was a factor in a motorcycle crash on Sunday that left a man with life-altering injuries.
Investigators say just after 7 p.m., a sport-style motorcycle was driving east on Memorial Drive near 36 Street SE, when the 25-year-old rider hit the north curb, causing him to slide into the grass median before hitting a large tree and stopping.
The rider flew off the motorcycle and hit the bottom of a road sign, according to police.
He was taken to hospital in serious condition.
Drugs and alcohol aren’t considered to be factors in the crash.
