Injuries sustained by a motorcycle rider in Southwest Virginia this month have caused the death of a Sullivan County, Tennessee resident.

The Virginia State Police reported the death of Carl W. Marco, 76, who was transported to a Johnson City hospital following the Sept. 10th crash.

Marco was reportedly riding eastbound on Route 58 near the Fitts Gap community in Lee County when the cycle ran off the left side of the highway and into the median, causing it to strike a ditch and overturn.
