The California Highway Patrol reported a collision between a motorcycle and a party bus on early Sunday morning in the area of Shoemaker Avenue in Cerritos.
According to CHP, the biker was riding a 2008 Yamaha R6 in the carpool lane of 91 Freeway more than 80 miles per hour when it swayed behind a 2013 Ford in the next lane making the two collide. Based on the witness statements, the biker shifted to the right and hit the front side of his motorcycle to the rear of the party bus, which had been traveling at about 50 miles per hour.
The biker, 37-year-old Anthony Tyrone Boyd Jr. of Long Beach, endured fatal injuries from the collision and was found dead at the scene. No arrests were made and further investigation of whether the speed of the vehicles was a factor that caused the accident is still ongoing.
