DA identifies motorcyclist killed in crash with pickup truck on South Shore

A motorcyclist was killed in a crash with a pickup truck on the South Shore of Massachsuetts on Thursday afternoon, authorities announced Friday.

Officers responding to reports of a crash between a truck and motorcycle in the area of 111 Pond Street in Norwell around 1:30 p.m. found a motorcyclist suffering from serious injuries, according to Plymouth District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz and Norwell Police Chief Edward Lee.

The motorcyclist, 28-year-old Pembroke resident Jacob Foss, was taken to South Shore Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

A preliminary investigation indicated that Foss was riding a Kawasaki when he struck the side of a Toyota Tacoma in an attempt to turn into the parking lot of a business on Pond Street, Cruz and Lee said.

The pickup driver was also taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Pond Street was closed for hours after the crash as officers gathered evidence at the scene.

Massachusetts State Police are assisting Norwell police with an investigation.
