EDMONTON -- A 25-year-old motorcyclist was taken to hospital with serious injuries after a collision with a U-Haul truck.

It happened Saturday afternoon on Manning Drive at 137 Avenue.

The driver of the truck, a 45-year-old man, did not suffer any injuries.

Drivers were asked to avoid the area for several hours, but it has since reopened.  

Correction:

Edmonton police previously identified the driver of the motorcycle involved as a 28-year-old man, later issuing an update correcting his age to 25. They also upgraded his injuries sustained in the crash to serious, after previously stating they were non-life threatening. Our copy has been updated to reflect those corrections.
