HEMET — A motorcyclist injured in a Tuesday evening crash near Sanderson Avenue and Florida Avenue has died, the Hemet Police Department said.
Hemet Police Communications received the call about 6:31 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2026. Officers found a silver Toyota sedan and a Harley-Davidson motorcycle that collided in the intersection.
