HEMET, CA — A 35-year-old motorcyclist was killed when he collided head-on with a pickup south of Hemet, authorities said Wednesday.

Casey Fryer of Hemet was fatally injured at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday on Fairview Avenue, just north of Bautista Canyon Road, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Officer Jonathan Torres said Fryer was riding a 2024 Kawasaki northbound on Fairview at an unconfirmed speed when he inexplicably drifted over the double yellow lines, into oncoming traffic.

“The driver of a Dodge Ram pickup was going southbound and observed the Kawasaki,” Torres told City News Service. “He attempted to take evasive action by turning to the right, but was unable to avoid the crash.”

Fryer’s bike slammed into the pickup, hurling him onto the roadway, resulting in catastrophic injuries.

Riverside County Fire Department paramedics reached the location before 8 p.m. and pronounced the victim dead at the scene.

The pickup driver, identified only as a 37-year-old Hemet man, was not hurt. He was questioned by CHP officers and allowed to leave.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information was asked to contact the CHP San Gorgonio office at 951-846-5300.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CA — Leaving the scene of a crash is against the law in California, but it happened twice in less than six hours in Riverside County. In both cases, the victims were left to die.

The most recent incident was reported at about 3:40 a.m. Thursday in the area of Limonite and Pacific avenues in Jurupa Valley. According to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, a motorcycle was struck by a vehicle, sending the rider into the roadway.

Deputies and paramedics arrived and found the adult male rider gravely injured. He was taken to a regional trauma center, where he died a short time later. The man’s identity was not released.

The motorist who hit the bike allegedly fled the scene but was tracked down.

“The ensuing investigation led to the identification of the other vehicle, and it was later located at a residence in Jurupa Valley,” according to the sheriff’s department. “The driver … was identified, and the vehicle was impounded.”

No arrest was announced and the driver’s name was not released.

Anyone with information about the crash was asked to contact the sheriff’s Jurupa Valley Sheriff’s Station at 951-955-2600.

Just a few hours earlier, at around 10 p.m. Wednesday, a 25-year-old Winchester man who was out running in a Menifee residential neighborhood was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver.

The fatal incident was reported at 28760 Bradley Road. When Menifee police and Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Department crews arrived at the scene, they found the man, later identified by the coroner as Victor Bello, unresponsive in the road. Despite efforts to save him, Bello died at the scene.

A Menifee police investigation determined Bello was running northbound on Bradley when he was hit by a vehicle traveling in the same direction. The driver did not stop.

Police believe the vehicle was possibly a 2021-2023 Hyundai Elantra.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone who witnessed the incident or has more information is asked to call Menifee Police Officer Norwood at 951-723-1612 or contact the Menifee Police Department’s Traffic Unit at 951-723-1690.
