SALISBURY — A motorcyclist was killed Sunday evening when she collided with a trailer on Sherrills Ford Road.
A N.C. State Highway Patrol Trooper said William Montgomery Sr., 39, of 156 Fairfield Road, Mocksville, was backing a white Ford Expedition towing a car into the driveway at 4905 Sherrills Ford Road, when the collision occurred about 8 p.m.
A witness at the scene said the trailer was carrying a car that was being delivered to that address.
The motorcyclist, whose name has not been disclosed as authorities are working to notify family members about the death, was traveling east on Sherrills Ford Road.
A section of the road in the 4900 block was blocked for several hours as troopers investigated. Trooper M.T. Eason is handling the case.
It was unclear whether charges will be filed.
Joe Edward Doby, 61, of 383 Becktown Road, Mocksville, was killed in a similar incident in November.
Doby was driving a minivan that ran into the side of a tractor-trailer on U.S. 601.
James Melvin Vermillion, 45, of 4375 U.S. 601 was backing the truck into the driveway of his home and trailer was crossways on the highway.
Vermillion was charged with misdemeanor death by vehicle.
