A member of the Canadian Military stationed at CFB Shilo was killed Monday night when the motorcycle he was riding hit a parked bulldozer.

According to police, the 31-year-old was ejected from the motorcycle on impact and succumbed to his injuries a short time later at the Boissevain Health Centre.
Speed is considered a contributing factor in the collision.
Police also note the rider was not wearing a helmet.
