Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor BALDWIN PARK – The Coroner identified a man who died after crashing into the center divider of the southbound 57 freeway in San Dimas early Saturday morning.
Leobardo Estrada, 24, from Baldwin Park, was identified by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner. An exam has yet to be scheduled to determine cause of death, but a statement issued by the California Highway Patrol indicated Estrada suffered blunt force trauma to the head and chest. Estrada crashed and died after apparently losing control of his 2018 Suzuki GSX R600 south on the 57 freeway south of Covina Boulevard around 12:36 a.m. He was at an unknown high rate of speed when he hit the divider, according to the California Highway Patrol. Estrada veered left and sideswiped the divider. He was ejected from the motorcycle. A Sig Alert was issued at 1:05 a.m. for the No. 1 lane of the south 57 freeway north of Covina Boulevard. The Sig Alert was cancelled at 2:57 a.m. It is unclear if alcohol and/or drugs factored in the crash. Witnesses to the crash are urged to call California Highway Patrol Officer Mark Walter at 626-338-1164. |
