Accident Victim in Good Condition

A Fort Frances man remains in Thunder Bay Regional Hospital in good condition after crashing his motorcycle Saturday afternoon.

The incident happened on Highway 602 just west of the LaVallee River Bridge.

Provincial police say the unidentified man was attempting to manoeuvre his motorcycle around a deer running onto the highway when he hit a guide rail and was thrown down an embankment into the water.

Witnesses and other passing motorists called for help and remained with the injured man until emergency crews arrived on scene.

He was transported by land ambulance to LaVerendrye Hospital before airlifted to Thunder Bay.
