The OPP say they have arrested five motorcyclists in relation to a pair of incidents last summer —a crash that left one man dead and a road rage incident where two motorists were injured.
On July 23, 2016, in the early hours of the morning, several motorcyclists were performing stunts in the eastbound express lanes of Highway 401 near Allen Road, police say.

They eventually approached a transport truck and several of them collided.
One of the motorcyclists, Mauro Bustelo of Toronto, died of his injuries. The other motorcyclists involved fled the scene.
Two months later, on Sept. 22 at about 10:40 p.m., a group of motorcyclists were again performing stunts in the area of Highway 427 and Dundas Street.
Police say they came into contact with a vehicle driven by a 22-year-old man.
“As a result of these actions a road rage incident developed between a motorist and the motorcycle riders,” police said.
The driver of the car and the motorcyclists stopped on Highway 401 near Dixie Road when a female occupant of the vehicle got out and confronted the motorcyclists.
One of the motorcyclists allegedly punched the woman in the face, knocking her to the ground.
The motorcyclists then fled the scene and driver of the car pursued them.
