Marietta, GA : Motorcyclist dead after Marietta crash on Tuesday, 14th April, 2020

A 63-year-old Cartersville man died riding his motorcycle on Interstate 75 through Marietta on Tuesday night, when he rode into the back of a box truck, police say.

Dennis Wolk was riding his 2017 Harley Davidson Electra Glide southbound on I-75 when he failed to slow for traffic and slammed into a 2017 Peterbilt box truck directly in front of him, near the Gresham Road overpass about 5:55 p.m., Marietta police said in a press release Wednesday morning.

“Southbound traffic slowed down due to a collision further south that was being worked by Georgia State Patrol,” police said. “For reasons unknown at this time, Mr. Wolk, the operator of the motorcycle, failed to slow down or stop with traffic and struck the back of the Peterbilt truck.”
