Motorcyclist Killed on Elbow Road

A Chesapeake motorcyclist was killed Saturday afternoon after he was hit head-on by a pick-up truck. The man is identified as 50 year-old Gary Franks. For those who are familiar with Chesapeake roads, Franks was traveling on Elbow Road which is notorious for its sharp turns, ditches on both sides, and little room for error. Gary Franks was pronounced dead when he arrived at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital. According to reports, the passengers in the pick-up truck were not injured. Police believe that speed was probably a factor in the accident. The charges have been filed as of yet.
