A Fayette County man was killed last night when his motorcycle crashed into a pickup truck in Georges Township, state police said.

James Weakland III, 19, of Uniontown, had been riding his motorcycle north on Mountain Road at 7:20 p.m. when the crash occurred.

The cyclist had been trailing a pickup truck that was turning left into a driveway just as Mr. Weakland tried to pass it on the left.

The bike struck the driver's side of the pickup, causing the truck to roll onto its passenger side.

The driver, Steven Clark, 20, was not injured, police said.

Mr. Weakland was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said he was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
