An investigation is underway after a collision involving a motorbike on Thursday night left a man dead.

Just after 7 p.m., Lethbridge Police and EMS responded to reports of a serious collision between a motorcycle and an SUV along the 1200 block of Third Avenue South.

The 40-year-old motorcycle driver was pronounced dead at the scene.

The preliminary investigation indicates the motorcycle was traveling westbound on Third Avenue South when it struck an SUV that was attempting to turn eastbound onto Third Avenue from 12A Street South.

Police say the SUV crossed both eastbound lanes, struck a parked truck and continued south on 13th Street before coming to a stop in the 900 block.

The 68-year-old driver of the SUV was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The investigation continues.
