Motorcyclist Severely Injured After 405 Freeway Crash

CULVER CITY, CA — A man driving a motorcycle was severely injured in a motorcycle accident on the 405 in the Culver City area Wednesday morning, according to the Los Angeles FBI.

An L.A. FBI agent, who happened to be in the area, stopped when they saw the down motorcycle and rendered potentially life-saving aid to the man who was thrown off of his motorcycle after colliding with a vehicle during traffic," an FBI spokesperson said.

"The rider suffered multiple injuries and was having difficulty breathing when our agent took a number of steps to assist him until EMTs arrived, including applying a tourniquet and clearing his airways so he could breathe," an FBI spokesperson said.

Culver City Fire Department officials said the motorcyclist might have been traveling at a potentially illegal speed before running into the back of the vehicle. CCFD Captain Nick Mendes said if it weren't for the help of the multiple agencies that showed up the man might have been worse off.

"It was good to see people trying to help and make things right," Mendes said.

The motorcyclist was transported to the UCLA trauma center after suffering significant injuries. CCFD officials said he may be in critical condition, but his exact condition is unknown.
