Ontario Provincial Police continue to investigate a fatal motorcycle crash near the community of Palmer Rapids, Ont. on Saturday afternoon.

OPP say on social media the crash occurred at around noon on Palmer Road near Adcock Lane in the Township of Brudenell Lyndoch and Raglan, about 60 kilometres east of Bancroft and 80 kilometres west of Renfrew.

No other vehicles were involved and no one else was injured, OPP say.

In an update on Monday, OPP say a preliminary investigation has revealed the driver of the motorcycle was going eastbound on Palmer Road and lost control of the vehicle. This caused the rider to be ejected from the motorcycle.

A 65-year-old rider from Cambridge, Ont. died at the scene. 

A post-mortem has been ordered and the investigation continues.
