Coroner names motorcyclist killed in crash in forest

ANGELES NATIONAL FOREST >> A coroner’s official on Wednesday identified the motorcyclist killed in a head-on collision in the Angeles National Forest over the weekend.

Craig Harvey, chief of investigations and operations for the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner, said Matthew Buckley, 35, of Moreno Valley died of multiple blunt traumatic injuries. He said the coroner ruled the death an accident.

The fatal crash happened around 2:30 p.m. Sunday on Shin Road, just east of Mt. Baldy Road.

California Highway Patrol Officer Rodrigo Jimenez said a motorcyclist was traveling westbound at a high rate of speed around a blind curve. Jimenez said the motorcyclist’s speed prevented him from staying in the lane. The motorcycle entered the eastbound lane directly in front of a Toyota 4Runner.

After the head-on crash, Jimenez said the motorcyclist was ejected. He died at the scene.

Jimenez said the rider was wearing a helmet.

The SUV’s driver, a 25-year-old Corona man, and the 23-year-old Ontario woman riding in the vehicle weren’t injured, Jimenez said.
