Windsor police have reported an arrest following a fail‑to‑remain crash that seriously injured a 59‑year‑old motorcyclist at Dougall Avenue and the eastbound off‑ramp to the E.C. Row Expressway at approximately 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday, September 24, 2025.
Investigators say the southbound motorcycle was struck by a west‑turning vehicle and resulted in the rider suffering serious but non‑life‑threatening injuries. The suspect vehicle was located shortly after in a Tecumseh business lot, and the driver was arrested and charged with failing to remain at the scene causing bodily harm.
What Injured Riders Should Know After a Hit‑and‑Run in Ontario
- Get medical care and report to police. Early documentation can potentially protect your health and claim.
- Notify your insurer promptly. Under Ontario’s Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS), you must give notice of your intention to claim benefits.
- Accident Benefits apply regardless of fault. SABS benefits may include medical, rehabilitation, income replacement, and other supports after a motor vehicle collision.
- If the at‑fault driver is unidentified or uninsured, coverage may still exist. Ontario policies can include Uninsured Automobile Coverage under Insurance Act s. 265. Additional protection may be available through optional endorsements.
- No insurance anywhere? The Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund (MVACF) may provide limited compensation in specific no‑insurance scenarios.
- Tort deadlines apply. Most civil injury claims must be started within two years of discovery of the claim, subject to exceptions under Ontario’s Limitations Act, 2002.
