PHOENIX — A 24-year-old man died following a single-vehicle collision Saturday morning in north Phoenix, officials said.

Phoenix Police Vehicular Crimes responded to a motorcycle crash near the intersection of Cave Creek and Hatcher roads at approximately 4:30 a.m., a press release said.

Officers found an adult male identified as Nathan Castro, who was suffering from serious injuries. Castro was taken to a nearby hospital but was pronounced dead soon after his arrival.
