A Sparta man has died from the injuries he sustained when the motorcycle he was driving collided with another vehicle.

According to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, on Thursday afternoon, 76 year old Lindle Pickering was driving his motorcycle westbound on route four near Vergennes when a delivery truck approaching from the east made a turn in front of Pickering onto Mudline Road.

Pickering, unable to stop in time, hit the truck, and was thrown from his bike, suffering major injuries.

CPR was performed on him by people at the scene until the arrival of paramedics.

He was transported by ambulance to a local hospital where he later died of his injuries.

The driver of the truck, Christopher Robinson of Hartford, was cited for failure to yield turning left.
