The 24-year-old man who died after his motorcycle and an SUV collided in Fountain Valley last week was identified by officials Sunday as a Mission Viejo resident.

Marco Bejarano succumbed to his injuries at around noon on Jan. 6, shortly after the crash near Bushard Street and Talbert Avenue, according to the Orange County coroner’s office. He was pronounced dead at UC Irvine Medical Center in Orange.

Bejarano was driving a 2001 Harley-Davidson Sportster when it collided with a 2019 Chevrolet Trax, driven by a 91-year-old Corona man who stayed at the scene, Fountain Valley police said earlier. Police said that preliminary evidence did not suggest drugs or alcohol were involved in the crash.
