A 26-year-old Windsor man is in critical condition in hospital after a motorcycle crash.

Windsor police say it took place in the 3100 block of Woodlawn Avenue near Norfolk Street around 11 p.m on Wednesday.

Officers say the driver was launched into the air and hit a parked vehicle.

One person who lives nearby tells CTV News the neighbourhood is very quiet and traffic is usually slow.

But Police believe speed was a factor in the crash.

The investigation is ongoing.

This is the second serious motorcycle crash in the city in less than two weeks. A 17 year old man was killed after his bike collided with a minivan on Cabana Road West.

Sgt. Steve Betteridge says motorcycle riders may be excited to get on the road with milder weather, but he reminds operators to drive within their abilities and respect the rules of the road.

"You have to respect the power and the weight of these vehicles" says Betteridge. "Make sure we're driving within our ability, within the road condition and within the law to make sure that it's safe for everyone."
