A 23-year-old Chowchilla motorcyclist was killed Sunday at about 7:30 p.m. after his motorcycle collided with a pickup.

Two men in the pickup were not seriously injured.

The victim’s name had not been released as of Monday afternoon, awaiting notification of kin, according to Sgt. Denny of the Chowchilla Police Department.

He then was rushed by ambulance to Madera, where he was taken to the Madera Community Hospital emergency room, but he died there of his injuries.
