A motorcyclist has died after being pinned beneath a vehicle in North York on Monday evening.

The multiple-vehicle crash happened at the intersection of Wilson Avenue and Wilson Heights Boulevard, near Allen Road and Highway 401 around 6:30 p.m. 

The motorcycle was struck by a black SUV making a left turn on Wilson Avenue, Toronto police Sgt. Alan Cohen told CP24 at the scene. 

A man, believed to be in his 30s was rushed to Sunnybrook Hospital with life-threatening injuries, where he later died, Cohen added.

Wilson Avenue is closed in both directions between Tippett Road and Faywood Boulevard due to a police investigation.
