The 21-year-old motorcyclist who was killed in a crash on Interstate 215 Sunday, July 12, had been driving at a high rate of speed when he failed to negotiate a turn, authorities said.
Zecharia Robinson, 21, of Jurupa Valley had been riding through Perris when he made his turn and struck a concrete center median, California Highway Patrol Officer Jose Serrano said in an interview.
The man was propelled into the air by the collision and was struck by a passing 2013 Toyota Matrix being driven by a 53-year-old Lemon Grove man, Serrano said.
Robinson came to rest in the fast lane of the freeway. Serrano said he was given CPR by two motorcyclists who stopped.
Riverside County Fire Department responded to the accident. Officials with the agency pronounced Robinson dead at the scene at 4:03 a.m., Serrano said.
No other information was available Monday morning.
