PALMDALE, Calif. – A motorcyclist died in a high-speed crash on the Antelope Valley (14) Freeway in the Palmdale area, authorities said Friday.
The crash occurred about 5:40 p.m. Thursday on the northbound 14 Freeway near Avenue O-8, the California Highway Patrol reported.
According to the CHP, the 23-year-old Lancaster man was riding a 2009 Yamaha R1 “at a high rate of speed, which prevented him from being able to negotiate the curve in the roadway.”
“(The) vehicle left the roadway, traversed the west center median and crashed into a guardrail,” the CHP reported.
The man’s name was not immediately available.
