PHOENIX — One person is dead, and another is hurt after a serious crash involving a motorcycle on Sunday night in north Phoenix.

Phoenix police say they were called to the area along Bell Road west of 16th Street for the reported crash around 5:30 p.m.

When officers arrived, they found a motorcycle and two vehicles involved.

The motorcyclist, who has only been identified as a man, was pronounced dead at the hospital.
