It appears Avalos collided with a Toyota Tacoma that changed lanes and fell off the motorcycle, which crashed into a Toyota Camry, CHP officials said.

The drivers of both cars stayed at the scene, according to the CHP. The Toyota Tacoma driver was arrested on suspicion of driving without a license, CHP officials said.

Drugs or alcohol do not appear to be a factor in the collision, according to the CHP. Two southbound lanes were closed for about three-and-a-half hours after the collision, CHP officials said.
