A tragic incident involving two Lexus vehicles and a Harley Davidson motorcycle occurred on Thursday night, resulting in the death of a 28-year-old man from Huntington Beach.
As reported by Jennifer Corey, public affairs manager for the Huntington Beach Police Department, the accident happened on Springdale Street, just south of Warner Avenue.
Police arrived at the scene around 7:24 p.m. and discovered that the Harley Davidson Dyna rider was deceased.
The two drivers, a 62-year-old man in a Lexus GX460 and a 25-year-old woman in a Lexus CT200h, remained at the scene.
Both drivers were unharmed and fully cooperative with the investigation. However, impairment was suspected in the case of the woman, who was taken into custody without incident, according to Corey.
Initial investigations suggest the motorcycle was traveling southbound on Springdale while the Lexus GX460 was heading north and made a left turn into a business complex at the southwest corner of Warner and Springdale.
The Lexus struck the motorcycle, causing the rider to lose control, which then resulted in the Harley Davidson colliding with the eastbound Lexus CT200h, which was exiting a driveway at 17101 Springdale.
The investigation is ongoing, and anyone who witnessed the incident or the events leading up to it is encouraged to contact HBPD Investigator C. Holston at (714) 536-5670.
