Lorain Police have released the name of the man killed Thursday afternoon as 20-year-old Seth Polly. Police say that Polly was riding his 03’ Yamaha, non-street legal, dirt bike when he struck the side of a tow truck.

Polly suffered a skull fracture and other internal injuries that killed him almost instantly.
