A 42-year-old man died Sunday from injuries received when the motorcycle he was riding collided with a vehicle Friday night in Hixson, according to a Chattanooga Police Department news release.
Police responded about 10:30 p.m. Friday to the two-vehicle crash at 5300 Highway 153 near Northgate Mall.
An investigation found that a man riding a Kawasaki motorcycle was traveling north on Highway 153 entering the intersection at Northgate Mall Drive as the traffic light was changing from to red. Another man, 34, driving a Kia Forte was facing south, attempting to turn left into a parking lot once the northbound light turned red. Southbound traffic is not governed by the traffic light at that intersection.
The motorcycle struck the car at the intersection and was later taken to a hospital by Hamilton County EMS with life-threatening injuries.
The Hamilton County Medical Examiner notified police that the man died from his injuries Sunday.
The investigation is ongoing.
