A 49-year old man died Saturday after a motorcycle he was riding collided with an SUV in an unincorporated area of Lakeland Friday, officials with the Polk County Sheriff's Office said.

Officials said Glen James McCord of Lakeland was riding a blue and white 2009 Suzuki Sport motorcycle south on Green Road, while Daniel Goldman, of Tampa, was driving a 2006 Lexus RX400 along the same road, in the opposite direction.
