They found the rider lying in the lanes of traffic with severe injuries.The motorcyclist was declared deceased later.According to the CHP, officers learned that a gold SUV, possibly an older Lexus model, was 'erratically weaving' through traffic before the crash.
The SUV reportedly continued to traverse dangerously by veering from lane to lane until it sideswiped the motorcycle, which was splitting the lanes.Due to the impact, the motorcycle and its rider went underneath a passing big-rig in another lane. According to the CHP, both the big-rig and the gold SUV briefly stopped after the crash, before fleeing the scene.The big-rig appeared to be hauling a white shipping container on a flatbed. The container was reportedly white with red lettering.
