A Hayward man was killed Wednesday morning in a collision on the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Jorge Becerril, 28, died after his motorcycle collided with a vehicle on state Highway 92 west of Clawiter Road in Hayward around 7:50 a.m., according to the CHP.

Becerril was riding his 2002 Honda motorcycle west when he was struck on the left side by a driver in a Subaru who was changing lanes just ahead of him, the CHP said.

Becerril lost control and struck the rear of a Volkswagen sedan.

The crash ejected him from the motorcycle and threw him to the asphalt, knocking him unconscious.

He was taken to Saint Rose Hospital in Hayward, where he died from his injuries, the CHP said.

The crash blocked lanes of westbound Highway 92 in Hayward for more than an hour. All lanes reopened by shortly before 9:30 a.m., according to the CHP.

The crash remains under investigation but alcohol and drugs are not believed to be a factor. Any witnesses are asked to call Officer Josh La Pointe at (650) 369-6261.
