The Salisbury Police Department says a Rockwell man who died Sunday while riding his motorcycle crossed the center line and struck a delivery truck.

John Dancy Hall, 31, died at the scene of the collision.

Hall was riding a 1996 Yamaha motorcycle at 510 Long Meadow Drive off South Main Street when he crossed the center line and hit what authorities described as a food services truck driven by Martin Villanueva of Mike Drive in Salisbury.

The incident occurred at 7:15 p.m.

Villanueva was not at fault, police say.

Speed appeared to be a factor in the crash, investigators said. Initial reports indicated alcohol was not a factor. Hall was wearing a helmet.
