I drove by the accident scene and noticed it is a divided road with a single lane on each side of the divider. It would be very dangerous and illegal to pass there. The speed limit is only 50 kph on that stretch so there is no reason to pass anyone there. I’ve been motorcycling for 49 years now and I don’t understand why anyone would attempt to pass someone on that section of road on a motorcycle.

We need way more police presence on Boucherie Rd. So many vehicles go by my house at a very fast rate of speed..it’s a drag race out there at night . So sorry for the loss to the family of this young man.
