ROYALTON, N.Y. (AP) - A motorcyclist has died following a high-speed collision with a pickup truck in upstate New York.

Niagara County Sheriff James Voutour says the accident occurred late Monday afternoon on a town of Royalton road. He tells WGRZ-TV (https://on.wgrz.com/2sfCH7Q ) that witnesses saw the motorcyclist traveling at high speeds before colliding with a pickup truck turning onto the road.
