The man was thrown from the bike and sustained serious injuries, police say. He was taken to hospital by paramedics.
Police say a group of motorcyclists was going north on Gateway near 19 Avenue around 7:45 p.m. when the 21-year-old collided with the rear of the pickup.
Authorities did not reveal how fast the motorcycle or truck, which was also being driven by a 21-year-old man, were going. Both vehicles sustained significant damage.
