Authorities have released the name of the Hilmar man killed while riding a motorcycle on a stretch of country road.

The deceased was identified as Dwight Tucker, 61, of Hilmar.

The collision happened at 3:10 p.m. Friday on Faith Home Road at the E. Taylor Road intersection.

A 2007 Ford pickup truck, driven by Jhonny Torres, 50, of Turlock was headed northbound on Faith Home Road, approaching the intersection with E. Taylor Road.
