The farm equipment was hit from behind by the truck, forcing it into the eastbound lanes. The rider of the eastbound motorcycle then laid the bike down to avoid hitting the trailer.
The motorcyclist received minor injuries and the driver of the farm vehicle was unharmed.
The driver of the transport received a head trauma during the crash. It was initially thought the injury was non-life-threatening but the driver’s condition worsened en route to hospital.
Middlesex OPP held the scene throughout the day as they continued their investigation.
Longwoods was closed in both directions from Pratt Siding to Old Airport Road.
