A motorcyclist was killed in a collision with a bicyclist along the San Gabriel River Trail in Long Beach on Friday night, March 20, police said.<\/p>\n
Officers responded around 8:15 p.m. to the trail south of the 405 Freeway following reports of a crash, the Long Beach Police Department said.<\/p>\n
When officers arrived, they found two men receiving aid from bystanders. Both were taken to a hospital in critical condition, and the motorcyclist later died from his injuries.<\/p>\n
Police said the motorcyclist had been traveling southbound on the trail when he collided head-on with a bicyclist riding in the opposite direction. Both men were ejected and suffered severe injuries.<\/p>\n
Witnesses told investigators the motorcyclist was traveling at a high rate of speed and did not have a helmet or lights. Police said impairment and distracted driving are not believed to be factors in the crash.<\/p>\n
The identity of the motorcyclist was not immediately available. The condition of the bicyclist was also not immediately known Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A motorcyclist was killed in a collision with a bicyclist along the San Gabriel River Trail in Long…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":204054,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[7,138,131,133,132,137,100,1492,136],"class_list":["post-230422","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-california","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news","tag-los-angeles-county","tag-news","tag-public-safety","tag-top-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230422","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=230422"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230422\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/204054"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230422"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230422"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
