ERVING — A Northfield motorcyclist was killed following a collision with a pickup truck at the intersection of Prospect Street and Route 63 in Erving at around 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

Trevon Bell, 25, was transported by Northfield EMS to Baystate Franklin Medical Center in Greenfield, where he succumbed to his injuries, according to the State Police Office of Media Relations. The truck’s driver was not injured or charged with a crime.

That crash was one of two Franklin County motorcycle crashes in a short period of time Tuesday.
