POWELL RIVER, B.C- A Powell River man remains in hospital after a serious crash near Saltery Bay.

According to Sergeant Kevin Day of the Powell River RCMP detachment, the crash took place on Thursday around 11:40 a.m., along Highway 101 near the entrance to Saltery Bay Provincial Campground.

The southbound motorcyclist collided with a northbound Mitsubishi SUV, with the rider sustaining serious injuries to his lower body.

He was transported by ambulance from the scene, and later airlifted to Vancouver General Hospital, where he remains in the care of physicians.
