Motorcyclist killed in crash with a big rig in Madera, CHP reports

A motorcyclist was killed Monday morning after crashing into a big rig in Madera, the California HIghway Patrol said.

The Madera County Coroner identified the victim as Steven Keith Page, 52, who served in the U.S. Navy at Lemoore Naval Air Station.

Page was riding a Harley Davidson about 10 a.m. on the Avenue 18 1/2 offramp from Highway 99 and for unknown reasons accelerated from a stop directly into the path of the big rig.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Alcohol and drugs do not appear to be a factor in the collision, which is under investigation, the CHP reported.
