Police have identified the motorcyclist who died Sunday after crashing into the back of a pickup truck near Middletown as 61-year-old New Castle resident Ronald Clift.

Police said Clift was heading east on Route 299 (Warwick Road) "at a high rate of speed" and made "abrupt lane changes." He ended up crashing into the back passenger side of a Ford F-250 stopped in the eastbound left-turn lane, where he was waiting to merge onto the ramp for Route 301 north.

Clift was taken to the hospital, where he later died. No other injuries were reported.
