Motorcyclist dies in D’Iberville crash

A 23-year-old man died in D’Iberville when the motorcycle he was driving collided with a vehicle.

Harrison County Coroner Gary Hargrove identified him Thursday as Joshua Territt of Biloxi.

Territt was riding a 2016 Yamaha R3 early Wednesday evening when the motorcycle struck the side of a vehicle, Hargrove said.

Territt died at the scene, Hargrove said.

Police Capt. Marty Griffin said it happened on Lamey Bridge Road, just south of the Sangani Boulevard/Mallet Road intersection, about 5:16 p.m. Wednesday.

Initial investigation shows Territt was traveling north when the motorcycle struck the passenger side of a Toyota Camry as the Camry was turning left, Griffin said.

Biloxi police are assisting in the investigation.

No charges have been filed at this time, Griffin said.
