A man was killed in a crash Sunday in Scottsdale on the Southwest Side.

The 45-year-old was riding a motorcycle about 3:30 p.m. in the 8500 block of South Cicero Avenue when a man driving a Ford made a left turn and struck the motorcycle, Chicago police said.

The man on the motorcycle was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead, police said.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office identified him as Daniel Butler. An autopsy confirmed he died of injuries sustained in the crash and ruled his death an accident.

Police said the 56-year-old man driving the Ford was cited for failure to yield right of way to left.

CPD’s Major Accidents Unit is investigating.
