On Saturday, December 3, 2022, at approximately 9:54 AM, Fullerton Police Officers responded to the intersection of Commonwealth Ave and State College Blvd regarding a traffic collision involving a motorcycle and a passenger car.

Upon arrival, a 27-year-old male motorcyclist was found laying in the roadway with significant injuries. He was transported to a local trauma center where he was pronounced deceased.

Preliminary investigation indicates that the motorcyclist was stopped facing westbound on Commonwealth Ave in the intersection with a green light, waiting to make a southbound turn on State College Blvd once traffic cleared.
