The Orange County Register
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.

So if you happen to run across a dark colored Hyundai with body damage, make that call...even if you think its silly, it's still worth a shot.
Hang in there everyone."
(post this to help get the word out...)
Even thought I like to make fun of his band, I still love the guy. His band [Suburban Legends] gave my friends &I a reason to see each other practically everyday at Downtown Disney.
I'll miss the times we giggled over having the same names (then his name was Dallas) as cities in Texas &reciting lines from Spaceballs.
Althought those moments were well over 2-3 years ago. I still cherish them.
Seeing that his default photo on myspace is of him and his motorcycle kills me.
Even thought I'm a ball of hate, I still have a heart. It might be small &black but it's there.
