PHOENIX - A motorcyclist is dead after a high-speed collision with a car in west Phoenix.
Phoenix police identify the victim as 62-year-old James Norbert Stoegbauer.

Police say the 26-year-old driver of the car escaped injury along with his wife, who was a passenger.
Officers are investigating the cause of the crash, but say there's no sign of impairment.
