One evening last winter, the young man was operating his motorcycle, traveling south on Prospect Road towards its intersection with the US-30W ramp. A truck driver was heading northbound on Prospect Road with the intent to turn left onto the on-ramp. Although the truck driver visualized the motorcyclist proceeding southbound, the truck driver sped up and attempted to make a lefthand turn onto the on-ramp. Unfortunately, the truck driver collided with the motorcyclist, who suffered multiple traumatic injuries and passed away.
