Motorcyclist killed in head-on crash with bicyclist on Long Beach trail

A motorcyclist was killed in a collision with a bicyclist along the San Gabriel River Trail in Long Beach on Friday night, March 20, police said.
Officers responded around 8:15 p.m. to the trail south of the 405 Freeway following reports of a crash, the Long Beach Police Department said.
When officers arrived, they found two men receiving aid from bystanders. Both were taken to a hospital in critical condition, and the motorcyclist later died from his injuries.
Police said the gasoline-powered motorcycle had been traveling southbound on the trail when it collided head-on with a bicyclist riding in the opposite direction. Both men were ejected and suffered severe injuries.
Motorcycles are not permitted on the bike trail, authorities said.
Witnesses told investigators the motorcyclist was traveling at a high rate of speed and did not have a helmet or lights. Police said impairment and distracted driving are not believed to be factors in the crash.
The identity of the motorcyclist was not immediately available. The condition of the bicyclist was also not immediately known Saturday afternoon.

FWIW, someone claiming to be a friend of the deceased in a comment on this FB post said it was a 450 dirt bike and he was going home.

A screenshot of the comment is attached.
There's no way to tell if it's legitimate. The poster has a very sparse profile, but that's not atypical for high schoolers.
