A passing Riverside County Fire Department truck crew stopped to render aid until Corona Fire Department paramedics arrived.
No other vehicles were involved.
CHP officers shut down one lane on the 91 for the safety of first responders.
The victim, whose identity was not released, was taken to a hospital for treatment.
The cause of the crash was under investigation.
