A motorcyclist was killed when he collided with a car less than three miles from his West Side home this afternoon.

The motorcyclist was in an accident with a car about 5 p.m. at the intersection of Ferdinand and Hamlin streets in East Garfield Park, Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Kevin Kilmer said.

The motorcyclist was identified as Kelley Murdock, 35, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.

Murdock died less than an hour later at Mt. Sinai Hospital, according to the medical examiner's office.

Saturday night Murdock's wrecked Suzuki motorcycle and a damaged white Buick sedan could still be seen at the intersection.

Murdock lived in West Humboldt Park, worked as a barber and had two young daughters and a wife, according to his landlord, Manuel Gomez.

His family could not immediately be reached for comment tonight.
