PHOENIX - A motorcyclist was killed in a north Phoenix crash and another driver was hospitalized on Sunday afternoon.

The man driving the motorcycle, later identified as 34-year-old Braiden Lawson, was rushed to the hospital and later died from his injuries," Phoenix Police Sgt. Phil Krynsky said.
