Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said they were called to crash between a motorcycle and car at Highway 8 and Nafziger Road around 5:30 p.m.
In a post on social media, OPP sergeant Kerry Schmidt said witnesses reported seeing a motorcycle speeding through traffic along the highway.
“There was an interaction between that motorcycle rider and another passenger vehicle. As a result of that interaction there was a contact and a collision between the car and the motorcycle just west of Nafziger Road,” he said in a video posted to X.
Ornge confirmed a man in his 20s was transported to Hamilton General Hospital with critical injuries.
