ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. — Two people riding on a motorcycle were killed Tuesday morning after a collision with a pickup truck, Colorado State Patrol Trooper Gary Cutler said. 

The wreck occurred at the intersection of 88th Avenue and Imboden Road shortly before 8:30 a.m. That's near the eastern edge of Denver International Airport in Adams County. 

A Dodge Ram traveling westbound is suspected of running a stop sign at the intersection, and then colliding with a Honda motorcycle that was traveling southbound through the area, Cutler said. 

Both people on the motorcycle were pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the motorcycle was a 64-year-old man, and the passenger was a 66-year-old woman, according to Cutler.
