A 25-year-old Newport Beach resident was fatally injured Thursday when his motorcycle crashed into a stalled car on MacArthur Boulevard at Newport Coast Drive, police said.
The victim’s name was not immediately released.
Police Sgt. Scott Cade said the stalled car was in a traffic lane. Before officers arrived, three minor, rear-end collisions occurred as cars tried to avoid the vehicle.
As the drivers were exchanging information on the shoulder of MacArthur at 1:15 p.m., the motorcycle struck the rear of the stalled car, which was still in the traffic lane, Cade said.
The motorcyclist died at Western Medical Center-Santa Ana.
Police said he had been wearing a helmet, but it apparently had not been strapped. It was found some distance from him.
