Authorities Wednesday identified a motorcyclist who was killed in a head-on crash with a pickup truck in the Palmdale area over the weekend.
David Lopez, 53, of Sylmar died at the scene of the crash, which occurred about 1:15 p.m. Sunday on Angeles Forest Highway south of Vincent View Road, according to the coroner’s office and the CHP.
Lopez was riding a 2003 Harley-Davidson north on the highway when a 2007 Ford F-150 pickup that was southbound entered the northbound lane “for a reason yet to be determined” and the vehicles collided, the CHP reported.
The truck driver, 55-year-old Michael Deangelis of Littlerock, was taken to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries, the CHP reported. He was not arrested.
“Alcohol and/or drugs are not suspected to be a factor in this collision,” the CHP reported.
