The driver of the motorcycle, 61-year-old George Dunn of Oxford, died after losing control and crashing into a tree, while the passenger, a 50-year-old Oxford woman, was hospitalized with significant injuries.

In an update on Tuesday, deputies said the driver of the pickup truck had been found, but there’s been no word of any charges.
