Authorities identified 31-year-old Samuel Tongco, from Tehachapi, as the man who lost his life following a single-vehicle accident on Tuesday north of Santa Clarita.
The fatal motorcycle crash was reported at about 6:35 p.m. on State Route 138 east of Quail Lake Road in Gorman. According to the investigation reports, one person informed the officers that his brother-in-law was late to meet up by two hours and they had utilized a phone app to found his last location.
Reports further added that that the reporting person had located his brother-in-law’s motorcycle in the hills north of State Route 138 just west of Old Ridge Route Road. Tongco was found by his brother-in-law shortly after, unresponsive and not breathing. He performed compressions until EMS before medical crews arrived. According to the officials, the fatal crash happened at around 4:10 p.m.
Tongco had failed to negotiate a right hand curve at a high rate of speed and his vehicle collided with two wood posts before overturning and landing on the hillside. Tongco was declared deceased on arrival by Los Angeles County Fire Department paramedics. No other details are available.
An investigation continues.
