A 37-year-old motorcyclist was killed in a collision involving a tow truck in Huntington Beach Friday.
The collision occurred at approximately 3 p.m. Friday near McFadden Avenue and Springdale Street, involving a blue Yamaha R1 motorcycle and a yellow Ford tow truck, according to the Huntington Beach Police Department.
The motorcyclist sustained life-threatening injuries upon the arrival of officers. Medical first responders responded to the location a short time later, where they pronounced the man dead at the scene.
His name was withheld pending notification of relatives. The 60-year-old driver of the Ford tow truck, identified only as a man from Victorville, sustained no injuries.
Police said he remained cooperative during their investigation. It remains unclear if drugs or alcohol played a factor in the collision.
A preliminary investigation indicated that the truck was stopped on McFadden Avenue, west of Springdale Street, moments before the Yamaha struck it from behind.
The investigation by the HBPD Multidisciplinary Accident Investigation Team continued Friday evening.
Anyone with information regarding the fatal collision was urged to call HBPD Traffic Investigator C. Houlston at 714-960-5670.
