SANTA ANA - A Huntington Beach motorcyclist was killed early this morning after hitting a dark-colored Hyundai that was blocking the car-pool lane on the southbound Costa Mesa (55) Freeway, the California Highway Patrol said.
Ryan Cook, 23, was riding a black Honda CB570 at 12:25 a.m. in the car-pool lane just north of MacArthur Boulevard and hit the Hyundai, possibly a sport-utility vehicle.
Cook was thrown from his motorcycle, then was struck multiple times by oncoming cars, said California Highway Patrol officer Denise Quesada. Cook died at the scene.
The driver of the Hyundai fled the scene on the southbound 55, Quesada said.
Santa Ana CHP is investigating the accident.
Authorities are looking for the dark-colored Hyundai with rear or side damage. Anyone with information about the accident is asked to call (714) 567-6000.
I cannot help but be horrible upset about this. So much death is going on. It really scares me, and makes me think alot. Its weird to think that before you know it, you, could be gone, in an instant,without getting to say goodbye, or fuffilling what you were put on this planet to do.
