   Upon arriving at the scene officers observed a red Ford F-150 pick up truck in the front yard of a residence located on the south side of the roadway, where it had come to rest. Present on the road way was a 2005 silver/black Kawasaki motorcycle. Initial information on the crash indicated that the red F-150 pick up truck was traveling west bound on Perry Crossing Road, crossed the center lane and struck the motorcycle traveling east bound on Perry Crossing Road.
