A Marietta man died Sunday after his motorcycle crashed with another vehicle at Canton Road and Blackwell Road, according to Cobb Police.
Officer Joseph Wilson said in a release that Jared Burriss, 25, was traveling northbound on Canton Road at 1 a.m. Sunday on a blue Yamaha Y.Z.F. R1.
As he approached the Blackwell Road intersection, his motorcycle crashed with a black Hyundai Santa Fe heading westbound on Blackwell and driven by Carlos Ayestas, 50, Wilson said.
Burriss and the Yahama were thrown in a westerly direction, while Ayestas and his Hyundai came to a rest in the intersection, police said.
Wilson said Burriss was rushed to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital but died of his injuries, and that Ayestas declined medical attention at the scene.
Wilson said the crash investigation is continuing and that anyone with information is asked to contact investigators at 770-499-3987.
