Whittier, CA (April 25, 2024) – A traffic collision involving a motorcycle left one victim dead at the scene in the city of Whittier late Tuesday night.
According to California Highway Patrol officials, troopers responded to a traffic collision involving a motorcycle shortly after 11:00 p.m. in the 10200 block of Mills Avenue.

One other person was assessed by firefighters and paramedics inside an ambulance, but they were not transported and were released at the scene. No further details have been released, though the investigation into the circumstances of the collision continues.
