Motorcyclist killed in collision on northbound Hwy 101 in Palo Alto early Saturday
PALO ALTO -- At least one person is dead after a motorcycle hit multiple vehicles on northbound Highway 101 just past San Antonio Road in Palo Alto early Saturday morning, the California Highway Patrol said.
At approximately 2:42 a.m. a Harley-Davidson Sportster was traveling north of San Antonio at an unknown speed when it rear ended a Chevy S10, causing the motorcycle driver to be ejected.
The sportster continued northbound and sideswiped a Jeep Wrangler in the right lane, forcing the driver to make an evasive turn to the right.
As a result, the Jeep flipped to the right side, rolled and landed back on its wheels. The drivers of both vehicles did not sustain any injuries, however the Jeep driver complained of pain. The CHP has no reason to believe the car drivers were under any influences of alcohol or drugs.
While CHP is still investigating, no information regarding the identity of the crash victim was immediately available.
