Curtis Carr, a 54-year-old resident of Brentwood, California, was killed Monday morning in a motorcycle crash on Vasco Road, authorities confirmed. Carr was pronounced dead at the scene after being ejected from his bike and landing down an embankment.

The crash occurred around 5 a.m., just north of Dyer Road, while Carr was riding southbound. California Highway Patrol officers reported that he lost control of the motorcycle, which crossed into the northbound lane and struck a guardrail before rolling a significant distance. The motorcycle eventually came to rest, blocking the northbound lane and causing a traffic backup for several hours.
