Motorcycle rider killed after crash involving Acura on Edmonton

Police in Edmonton say a motorcycle rider died while trying to pass a car on the city's western outskirts on Saturday evening.

Police say the Harley-Davidson was travelling north on Winterburn Road, but while attempting to pass an Acura, the car slowed and made a left-hand turn.

The motorcycle collided with the driver's side of the car, sending the 26-year-old and his bike into the northwest ditch. Police say speed is believed to have been a factor in the collision.
