Ejected motorcyclist struck by several cars, killed on 210 freeway

Posted: 05/12/2009 09:05:27 AM PDT

IRWINDALE - A motorcyclist was killed Monday night after crashing on the west 210 freeway, California Highway Patrol Officials said.

The motorcyclist, identified only as a male at this point, was traveling west in the car pool lane at 10:45 p.m. Monday when crossed into multiple lanes for "unknown" reasons, officials said.

He then rear ended a tractor trailer and was ejected from the motorcycle and into traffic, officials said. He was struck several times by other motorists and died from his injuries, officials said. No motorists who struck the victim stopped or pulled over, officials said.

CHP officials are looking for witnesses of the accident and ask for any person with information to call (626) 338-1164.

WHAT I DONT UNDERSTAND IS WHY NO ONE STOPPED!!!!!

Only reason he crossed 3 lanes was to avoid getting caught in debris according to a close family member that was there shortly after it happened

Much respect and condolences. Even though many of his may not have known him personally, that is our misfortune that we never will. He must have been a great guy. Even though Life Goes On, you will be missed by many. RIPPPPP brotha!

I just saw this on NWP earlier tonight. They're going to have a tribute for him by collection all the old parts he had on his car before he sold it and putting it back together to show at Eibach this weekend.

RIP coke in a can
