Culver City Police investigators and forensic specialists responded to the location to process the scene and investigate. Parking Enforcement Officers assisted with traffic control, and a Nixle alert was issued advising the community of the temporary closure of eastbound Washington Boulevard between Inglewood Boulevard and McLaughlin Avenue.
The preliminary investigation indicates that the motorcyclist had been traveling eastbound on Washington Boulevard at a high rate of speed and was unable to maintain control, resulting in an ejection from the motorcycle and a subsequent collision. The investigation remains ongoing,” police said.
