According to a news release from Tucson Police Department, 42-year-old Colby Matthew Sweet was riding his motorcycle eastbound on Golf Links Road when he struck the Ram, which was attempting to make a left turn from Calle Polar.
Tucson Police determined that Sweet was traveling at well above the 40-miles-per-hour speed limit.
Work zone signage was present west of Calle Polar, blocking the middle eastbound lane, the news release said.
