Active Military Member Killed in I-10 Motorcycle Accident

Nov 11,2016

A 19-year-old Florida man was killed in a motorcycle accident on I-10 Sunday morning. The motorcyclist was riding his bike eastbound on the freeway east of Main Street when he lost control at a curve in the road. The motorcycle crashed down an embankment and through a fence, coming to rest on Railroad Avenue.

The motorcyclist was thrown from the bike during the crash, which happened around 12:52 a.m. He was pronounced dead at 1:32 a.m. According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the motorcycle was going about 90 MPH when it flew off the roadway.

The CHP is still investigating the cause of the motorcycle accident. They have not ruled out drugs or alcohol as possible factors. The motorcyclist’s identity is being withheld until his family has been notified, but police have identified him as an active military member. If anyone has information relevant to the investigation, they can contact the Riverside CHP at (951) 769-2000.

“It’s tragic that another motorcyclist has lost his life on I-10. Unfortunately, it looks like this biker was going way too fast when the crash occurred,” said Attorney Walter Clark, founder of Walter Clark Legal Group.
