A motorcyclist was killed Monday morning when his bike collided with an SUV on Cobb Parkway, Cobb County police said.
Marco Malvaez, 25, of Kennesaw, was on his Honda motorcycle going south as the driver of a northbound Mercedes SUV turned left into his path, according to police. The two collided at Black Acre Trail near Acworth.
Malvaez was dead at the scene. The driver of the Mercedes, identified as 17-year-old Rachel Tyre of Acworth, was not injured in the wreck, which remains under investigation.
