\t\"Motorcyclist<\/p>\n

LONG BEACH, Calif. \u2014 A motorcyclist has died following a collision with a bicyclist on the San Gabriel River Trail Friday evening, according to the Long Beach Police Department.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The crash occurred around 8:12 p.m. on March 20, 2026, along the San Gabriel River Trail just south of the 405 Freeway. Officers responded to reports of an injury collision involving a motorcycle and a bicycle.<\/p>\n

When authorities arrived, both a male adult motorcyclist and a male adult bicyclist were receiving medical aid from bystanders. Personnel from the Long Beach Fire Department transported both individuals to a local hospital in critical condition. The motorcyclist later died from his injuries.<\/p>\n

Preliminary findings indicate the motorcyclist was traveling southbound on the trail when he collided head-on with a bicyclist heading in the opposite direction. Both were ejected upon impact and sustained severe injuries.<\/p>\n

Witnesses told investigators the motorcyclist was traveling at a high rate of speed and was not wearing a helmet or using lights at the time of the crash. Authorities said impaired or distracted driving are not believed to be factors.<\/p>\n

The identity of the deceased is being withheld pending notification by the Los Angeles County Department of the Medical Examiner.<\/p>\n

The bicyclist\u2019s current condition has not been released.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information is urged to contact Collision Investigation Detective Joseph Johnson at 562-570-7355.<\/p>\n
