One person has died as a result of a collision on the Ingraham Trail on Friday.

At approximately 6:30 p.m. on September 12th, Yellowknife RCMP received a report of a collision on the Ingraham trail near the Prosperous Lake boat launch.

Officers attended the location where bystanders were providing first aid to the rider of a motorcycle, which was the only involved vehicle. First aid continued until paramedics arrived and transported the 35-year-old male victim to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The highway remained closed for a period of time as officers, including a collision analyst, investigated. The road opened later that evening.
