Motorcyclist Killed In Hemet Crash

HEMET, CA — A 33-year-old motorcyclist was killed in a collision with a sedan whose driver turned in front of him on a Hemet street, authorities said Thursday.

Harold Rodriguez Berrios of Hemet was fatally injured about 6:45 p.m. Wednesday on North Sanderson Avenue, near Devonshire Avenue.

Hemet Police Department Sgt. Dan Reinbolt said Berrios was driving his Suzuki motorcycle northbound on Sanderson when the driver of a Ford Taurus going southbound on the four-lane corridor initiated a left turn to go into a car wash.

The motorcyclist struck the passenger side of the Ford, ejecting him onto the roadway.

The Ford driver, whose identity was not released, immediately stopped. He was not injured, according to Reinbolt.

"There was no indication of impaired driving, and no arrests were made," the sergeant said.

Berrios was taken to Riverside University Medical Center in Moreno Valley, where he died five hours later.
