A longshore worker riding her motorcycle on a break was struck and killed Friday morning by a truck whose driver made an unsafe left turn in front of her, Los Angeles traffic detectives said.

Georgia Fisher, 47, of Long Beach was traveling south on Earle Street at about 8 a.m. when a tractor-trailer truck made a left turn into the APL terminal. There are no traffic controls at the location and Fisher struck the side of the cab, said South Traffic Division Detective Supervisor Rodney Jones.
