A Woodstock man was killed Saturday when his motorcycle crashed with another vehicle at an intersection in Northeast Cobb.
Cobb Police Sgt. Wayne Delk identified the victim as Jason Williams, 51.
Delk said that a white and red 2004 Sprinter 2500 van driven by Steve Folds, 75, of Woodstock, was in an eastbound lane of Alabama Road (Highway 92) around 5:30 p.m. Saturday, ready to turn left at the intersection of Old Mountain Park Road.
As the van made the left turn, it was hit on the right side by a blue 2016 Yamaha FJR motorcycle driven by Williams, according to police.
Delk said Williams was ejected from the bike and was pronounced dead on the scene, and his next of kin was notified.

Folds was not injured, according to police, who said the crash investigation is continuing.
Anyone with information is asked to call Cobb Police at 770-499-3987.
