NATCHEZ — A Lucedale man received serious injuries Sunday afternoon when the bike he was riding was struck by a truck hauling a trailer on Mississippi 555.

The Mississippi Highway Patrol and the Adams County Sheriff’s Office received a call about the incident at 3:07 p.m.

Mason Storm, 43, was struck by a 2008 Chevy pick-up pulling a utility trailer. Both Storm and the truck’s driver, Gregory W. Lee, 38, of Natchez, were driving north on 555.

Lee reportedly attempted to pass the bike. The bike turned in between the truck and the trailer, the highway patrol report says.

Mason was transported first to Natchez Regional Medical Center with severe injuries and then to University Medical Center in Jackson.

The highway patrol report said there was no evidence that Mason was wearing a helmet.
