Three Motorcycle Crashes Reported in Northern California

Three separate motorcycle crashes were reported in Northern California. Shortly after 2:30 p.m. Saturday, a motorcycle and another vehicle collided near 10th and H streets in downtown Sacramento, killing a motorcycle passenger and injuring two others; investigators took over the case and nearby roads were closed. In Los Gatos, a motorcyclist died after apparently failing to negotiate the cloverleaf transition from northbound State Route 85 to State Route 17 and leaving the roadway; the crash remains under investigation.
