Fresno motorcycle rider is dead after crashing into vehicle

A man on a motorcycle died Saturday afternoon after crashing into another vehicle in Fresno County, the California Highway Patrol said.

The collision happened at 1:12 p.m. at East McKinley and North Temperance avenues.

CHP spokesman Mike Salas said the motorcycle was moving at a high rate of speed east on McKinley Avenue when a Toyota Sienna attempted a U-turn from eastbound McKinley to westbound. The motorcycle rider braked to avoid the Sienna but the vehicles collided.

The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene. The man’s name and age were not available pending formal identification by the Fresno County Coroner’s Office, Salas said.

No other injuries were reported. The CHP did not say if anyone besides the driver was in the van.

Drugs and alcohol were not a factor.
