A motorcycle rider who died when he collided with a car in Huntington Beach was a 28-year-old Cerritos man, police said Monday.
The crash was reported at 3:56 p.m. Sunday at the intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and 24th Street in Sunset Beach, according to the Huntington Beach Police Department.
A witness told the California Highway Patrol a male wearing all black flew off a blue motorcycle and landed in a dirt area of the right-hand shoulder.
The Orange County coroner’s office was summoned to the scene, where the young man was pronounced dead. His name was not released.
The rider collided with a white Toyota Camry, whose driver remained at the scene, police said.
The Toyota driver had exited a parking lot to southbound PCH and collided with the northbound BMW motorcycle, according to investigators’ preliminary findings.
The transition from the eastbound Garden Grove Freeway to the northbound Santa Ana Freeway was shut down for several hours for the investigation and clean up.
