Harley rider was splitting lanes on I-5 in Fresno County when he was killed, CHP says
The California Highway Patrol on Monday identified Alexander Bond, 62, as the rider of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle who was killed on Interstate 5 near Highway 198 in western Fresno County on Saturday.
The CHP said Bond was northbound and riding between other vehicles in parallel lanes, or lane-splitting, when he clipped a car, lost control and fell in the fast lane. The rear wheels of a tractor-trailor truck rolled over him and he died at the scene.
The CHP did not have information about Bond’s hometown.
Splitting lanes is legal in California, but illegal in most other states. Recently Utah and Montana legalized the maneuver.
