A motorcyclist died Sunday when his motorcycle and a pickup truck collided on Highway 39 in the Angeles National Forest.
The coroner’s office identified the rider as Javier Barragan, 25, of Los Angeles. The fatal crash near mile marker 23.11 happened at 7:22 a.m. on Sunday.
A Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R was speeding south on Highway 39 when it crossed into the northbound lane and collided with a Toyota Tacoma, according to California Highway Patrol Officer R. Gonzalez in a statement. He said the rider was thrown from the motorcycle.
A CHP officer patrolling Highway 39 came upon the crash and called for medical aid, Gonzalez said.
The motorcyclist died at the scene while the driver of the pickup, a 38-year-old Van Nuys man, was not injured, CHP spokesman Officer Rodrigo Jimenez said.
The CHP issued a SigAlert. The collision shut down Highway 39 for about three hours.
