Irvine man dies in motorcycle crash
An Irvine man died Thursday night after his motorcycle struck the
back of a truck on a San Diego Freeway offramp in Costa Mesa.
Lawrence Rossow, 27, was riding his 2004 Kawasaki motorcycle on
the Fairview Road offramp of the freeway just before 9 p.m., Costa
Mesa Police Lt. Dave Anderson said. Witnesses reported he was driving
about 100 miles per hour, Anderson said.
Rossow’s motorcycle struck the back of a Ford pickup truck,
throwing him into a fuel truck in the next lane and then to the
pavement, according to the California Highway Patrol. Another car
then ran over him, pinning him underneath, police said.
Rossow was pronounced dead at the scene. The crash closed the
offramp for three and a half hours.
