Charges have been laid after a motorcycle crash near Melfort late last month.

The two-vehicle collision involving a motorcycle happened April 27 on Highway 3 west of Melfort.

RCMP say by the time first responders arrived at the scene, the other vehicle involved in the crash was no longer at the scene.

A 57-year-old woman riding the motorcycle was treated for serious injuries at Melfort Hospital.

The RCMP investigation determined a white pickup truck was the other vehicle involved in the collision, and they identified the driver who initially stopped at the scene but didn’t stick around.
