According to police, a male motorcyclist was riding a 2015 Kawasaki and was traveling southbound on SW Military Drive when it struck a 2021 Chevrolet making a left-hand turn onto Royal Gate Drive. The motorcyclist was thrown from the bike and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

A preliminary police report states witnesses told officers that the motorcyclist was going at a high-rate of speed prior to the collision. It is unclear if he was wearing a helmet.

SAPD said the driver of the Chevrolet pulled over and remained on scene and cooperated with officers. It is unclear if any charges are expected to be filed.
