Motorcyclist, passenger die in Highway 50 crash in Sacramento, CHP says
A motorcyclist and his passenger were killed in a crash late Monday night on Highway 50 in Sacramento, the California Highway Patrol said. The motorcyclist, a 20-year-old Sacramento man, and his female passenger were on westbound Highway 50 near 13th Street around 11:30 p.m. when the driver of a Nissan Maxima began to spin out of control, CHP said. The Nissan came to a stop in the motorcyclist's path. The motorcyclist tried to avoid the car, but slammed into the right side of the Nissan. Both the motorcyclist and his passenger were thrown from the bike and were killed, according to CHP. The Nissan driver, a 17-year-old girl, was not hurt. It's not yet known if alcohol or drugs were a factor in the crash. No arrests have been made, said CHP, which is still investigating the crash.
