Motorcyclist dies in collision
A motorcyclist was killed in a collision with a car on Superior
Avenue at Ticonderoga Street in Newport Beach on Saturday.
An investigation was underway Saturday afternoon. The name of the
victim, a 38-year-old Latino, was not released by Saturday evening.
“Fault is unclear,” Newport Beach Police Sgt. Thomas Fischbacher
said. “Speed may be a factor, but that hasn’t been determined yet.”
The accident occurred shortly after 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The
motorcycle was traveling northbound on Superior from Coast Highway as
a 1978 Lincoln sedan driven by a 72-year-old man was traveling
southbound, Traffic Investigator Mark Fisher said.
The vehicles collided as the sedan was turning left onto
Ticonderoga.
No one has been arrested, charged or cited, Fisher said.
