A 38-year old Niagara Falls man has been charged after the death of another man in a single vehicle collision in August.

Police say the driver of a motorcycle lost control near the corner of Marineland Parkway and Portage Road and crashed, was ejected, and suffered serious injuries.

The 43-year old St. Catharines man, alone on the bike, sadly died at hospital.

As a result of the investigation, police have charged Kyle Kmetyk, who was driving another vehicle, with dangerous operation causing death.

He turned himself into police yesterday, and has a bail hearing today.

Police add a court will determine the nature of what happened.
