A motorcyclist was killed Wednesday after his bike collided with a Porsche on Holly Springs Road, near the Davis Road roundabout, Cobb Police said.
Officer Aaron Wilson said in a release that Trevion Oglesby, 27, of Marietta, was pronounced dead after being taken to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital.
Police said Oglesby was riding northbound on Holly Springs south of the roundabout on a 2017 Honda CBR500R at 7:40 a.m. Wednesday when he tried to avoid a vehicle in front of him that had slowed down to turn right into a construction site.
Wilson said Oglesby lost control of the motorcycle and it veered into the southbound lane, where Edward Dunphy, 47, of Roswell, was driving a 2017 Porsche 911.
According to police, Dunphy pulled into a driveway to avoid a collision but the motorcycle struck the front left side of the Porsche.
Wilson said Dunphy was not injured and that anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Cobb Police at 770-499-3987.
