PHOENIX — A motorcyclist died Tuesday afternoon after colliding with a truck making a left turn at an intersection in Phoenix, authorities said.

Officers responded to a collision call just after 1 p.m. at Indian School Road and 24th Street, the Phoenix Police Department said.

When they arrived, 31-year-old Alexander Thompson was found suffering from serious injuries, police said. Thompson was taken to a hospital, where he later died.
