EAST LOS ANGELES -

These type of accidents always sadden me, and it seems like they are becoming more and more common here in Southern California and are happening more and more in the over packed freeway system in East Los Angeles.

A motorcyclist was killed in an accident on the northbound Long Beach (710) Freeway in East Los Angeles, according to reports by the California Highway Patrol.
 
Three northbound lanes were blocked while an investigation was conducted.

According to the preliminary report, the motorcyclist collided with the trailer portion of a big rig truck.  The name of the victim has not been released. 

Remember, be careful on our freeways.  Pay attention to motorcyclists.   My heart goes out to the family of this man killed.

I have been looking for more details on this ever since I saw him lying on the freeway. I've the original and this copypasta. I thought I saw he was decapitated and I wanted to know if it was true.
