A motorcycle rider who was killed in a crash while passing through Jurupa Valley has been identified.
Marvin Villegas, 18, was riding a 2013 Yamaha motorcycle east on Highway 60 at 85-95 mph about 4:14 p.m. Monday, Aug. 3, in the fast lane just east of Pyrite Street when he quickly swerved right and cut across all lanes of traffic, a CHP news release said.
“Due to (Villegas’) excessive speed, (he) failed to see slower traffic ahead of him and struck the rear of (another vehicle),” the release said.
Villegas was thrown to the pavement and the motorcycle crashed and burst into flames, the release said.
Villagas was pronounced dead on the scene. The driver of the other vehicle was uninjured.
The incident is under investigation and anybody with information was asked to call the CHP at 951-637-8000.
