The operator of the Chevrolet failed to yield to oncoming traffic on a left turn and pulled into the travel path of the Harley Davidson.
The Harley Davidson subsequently collided with the Chevrolet. Mr. Thompson sustained injuries that were not compatible with life and was pronounced deceased on the scene.
