A 25-year-old resident of Torrance was killed last weekend when his motorcycle crashed near a local bridge.
On Saturday, Feb. 13, at approximately 1:06am, Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) officers were dispatched to the area of the Gerald Desmond Bridge and the 710 Freeway regarding a single-vehicle traffic collision.
Arriving officers located a motorcyclist lying on eastbound Ocean Boulevard, below the transition road. Long Beach Fire Department personnel determined the driver, a male adult , deceased at the scene.
The preliminary investigation revealed the driver of a 2015 Harley Davidson motorcycle was traveling eastbound on the Gerald Desmond Bridge transition road to the northbound 710 Freeway. As the roadway turned from eastbound to northbound, the motorcyclist, for an unknown reason, collided with the south k-rail and was ejected from his motorcycle onto Ocean Boulevard below. No other vehicles or parties were involved in the incident.
