A 55-year-old driver of a motorcycle has sustained serious injuries after colliding with a van in Scugog on Monday.

Durham Police responded to a collision report just before six p.m. involving a van and motorcycle. A 48-year-old Clarington woman was driving a 2013 red Dodge Caravan westbound on Regional Road 19 when it struck a motorcycle at the intersection of Old Scugog Road.
