A motorcyclist in his 70s died along Highway 1 yesterday afternoon after losing control on gravel while taking a corner.
So far, police believe the man was travelling westbound on the Trans Canada Highway, where he lost control of his motorcycle, according to a Kamloops RCMP news release.
Tk'emlups Rural RCMP responded to the scene around 1:40 p.m., May 1, near Tunkwa Lake Road.
