RIVERSIDE — A 37-year-old motorcyclist was killed in a collision at a Riverside intersection, authorities said Tuesday.

Martha Casillas of Riverside was fatally injured at about 10:30 p.m. Monday at Cochran and La Sierra avenues, according to the Riverside Police Department.

Officer Emilio Angulo said Casillas was going southbound on La Sierra when she “failed to stop for a red light” and entered the intersection as a 2020 Honda Civic approached on Cochran, going east.

“Both vehicles collided,” Angulo said.

The Honda driver, identified only as a 20-year-old Fontana resident, was not injured, nor were any of his passengers, according to Angulo.

He said the investigation is ongoing, and it’s still unknown whether alcohol or drugs were factors in the crash.
