Motorcyclist Dead After Vehicle Collision

A vehicle collision near the Merrimack/Bedford town line Saturday left a motorcyclist dead.

Police say it happened a little after 2 p.m. when the southbound biker apparently strayed over the double yellow line while rounding what investigators describe as a ‘blind curve’ and collided with a northbound pickup truck.

The motorcyclist, whose identity was not released, was pronounced dead at the scene. No other injuries were reported.

Authorities say traffic through the area was impacted for several hours after the crash while police completed their investigation.
