PLACER COUNTY, CA (January 29, 2024) – Tuesday evening, one man was fatally struck in a motorcycle collision on Highway 65. 

Officers responded to the southbound lanes of the freeway, just south of Twelve Bridges Drive.

According to CHP, the male rider of a southbound 2000 Honda motorcycle was traveling at a high rate of speed and rear-ended a 2008 Ford F-250.

The impact of the collision ejected the rider from the motorcycle, causing him to land on the right southbound lane. Shortly after, the motorcyclist was struck by a 2016 Chrysler 300.
