A motorcyclist was injured in a collision on Fourteenth Street in Simcoe early Thursday evening.

The motorcycle and a pickup truck were eastbound on the road at just after 6 pm when the motorcycle was struck from behind, said Norfolk OPP Const. Ed Sanchuk on social media.

The motorcyclist suffered serious injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
