RISING SUN, Md. -- A King of Prussia woman was killed in a truck-versus-motorcycle accident involving two Pennsylvania residents in Maryland Tuesday afternoon.
State police said the 43-year-old King of Prussia woman killed was a motorcycle safety instructor in suburban Philadelphia.
Her motorcycle struck a truck driven by a Lancaster man when he made a left-hand turn on Route One in Cecil County.
Police did not release the victim’s name.
The truck driver, 37-year-old Jose Torres-Arroyo, was ticketed for negligent driving and failure to yield the right of way while turning.
A woman riding on another motorcycle with the crash victim was not injured, police said.
