A man, approximately in his 20s, was killed in a motorcycle crash Monday evening in Newhall, according to a Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station official.
Deputies were dispatched to Railroad Ave about 100 yards away from the Via Princessa overpass at approximately 7:15 p.m. in response to a single vehicle collision, Deputy Robert Jensen, a spokesman for the station said on Tuesday in a phonecall with The Signal.
Upon arrival, first responders with the Los Angeles County Fire Department and SCV Sheriff’s Station deputies found a man involved in a solo motorcycle crash, Jensen said.
The man was transported to the hospital in unknown condition at 7:26 p.m., according to L.A. County Fire Department Public Information Officer Fred Fielding.
The man succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the hospital, Jensen added.
