NICE, Calif. – A crash involving a motorcycle and at least one other vehicle on Highway 20 late Monday resulted in a fatality.
The crash was reported just before 11:40 p.m. Monday on Highway 20 near the Pomo Pumps gas station just west of Nice, according to the fire dispatch and initial California Highway Patrol reports.
Radio reports originally stated that the wreck involved a motorcycle and a pedestrian, with followup reports from the scene stating that it involved a Harley Davidson motorcycle and a Chrysler vehicle. A later update indicated a third vehicle may have been involved.
A Northshore Fire battalion chief who arrived on scene a short time after dispatch reported that one person was down in the roadway and appeared to be deceased, which the CHP confirmed a short time later.
Both lanes of the highway were temporarily closed while first responders were at the scene and in order for the CHP to conduct its crash investigation, according to radio reports. The roadway was reported to be reopened shortly before 3 a.m. Tuesday.
Separate tow trucks were requested for both the vehicle and the motorcycle.
Additional information will be published as it becomes available.
