TAMPA --

A motorcyclist was killed when he collided with a pick-up truck on Busch Boulevard Monday afternoon.

According to reports, Mark Graves, 43, was driving his motorcycle west on Busch Boulevard near Arrawana Avenue as George Gunter, 74, drove east on the same road.

Investigators said Gunter failed to yield the right-of-way to Graves and turned left in front of him. Graves hit his brakes to avoid a collision with Gunter, but instead collided with the passenger side of Gunter's pick-up truck, investigators said.

Graves was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.
