Man Killed in Pasadena Motorcycle Crash

A 33-year-old man died after his motorcycle struck a tree in Pasadena on Friday evening, officials said.

The crash took place just before 8 p.m. at El Molino Avenue and Woodland Road, Pasadena police Lt. Anthony Burgess said.

The rider, described as a Pasadena man, apparently lost control of his motorcycle and hit a tree, he said. No other vehicles were believed to have been involved.

Paramedics took the victim to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later, officials said.

His identity was not released Saturday pending notification of family by coroner’s officials.

Officers from the Pasadena Police Department’s Major Accident Investigation Team were spearheading the investigation.
