A 24-year-old Fremont man on a motorcycle was killed in a collision with a dump truck on U.S. Highway 101 in Mountain View Thursday morning.

A California Highway Patrol spokesman said shortly before 9 a.m., officers responded to a report of a collision between a motorcycle and dump truck on northbound Highway 101 just north of Ellis Street, CHP Officer Art Montiel said.

The man was driving a 2009 Suzuki motorcycle and was pronounced dead at the scene, Montiel said.

The truck driver was not injured and was cooperative with investigators, Montiel said.
