A city man was killed when his motorcycle slammed into the rear of a moving car over the weekend in northeast Reading, police said.
Huascar Serrano, 50, was dead at the scene of the crash Saturday night on North 11th Street, just north of the intersection with Bern Street, police said.
He died of blunt force trauma, and the death was ruled accidental, Berks County Coroner Matthew J. Stitzel said Monday.
According to the crash report:
The driver of the car, a 20-year-old Temple woman, was northbound in the 1800 block of North 11th just before 9:30 p.m. when she heard a screeching noise, felt something hit her vehicle, then saw a person lying on the street beside her vehicle.
Police arrived to find the motorcycle underneath the car. They determined Serrano was thrown from the bike and ended up about 40 feet northwest of the point of impact.
The driver of the car and her passenger, a 22-year-old Reading man, were uninjured.
Serrano was the 32nd person to die this year in crashes in Berks and the sixth motorcycle rider.
