A 25-year-old man riding a motorcycle was killed today in a crash with a van on the southbound Hollywood (101) Freeway just south of the Cahuenga Pass, the California Highway Patrol said.
The wreck, approaching Hollywood Boulevard, was reported at 1:23 a.m., prompting the CHP to temporarily close the freeway to accommodate their investigation, CHP Officer Anthony Martin said.
The man driving a 2008 Ford E-350 van was not cited or arrested, according to the CHP. He was identified only as a 48-year-old man from Istanbul, Turkey.
Both he and his passenger, a 16-year-old girl also from Istanbul, suffered minor injuries.
The name of the motorcyclist, who was a resident of Ontario, will be released after his family is notified, according to the Coroner’s Office.
The motorcyclist was riding a 2012 Kawasaki.
