A 36-year-old San Ramon man was killed when his motorcycle crashed into a tree off of Interstate Highway 680 in Alamo Sunday afternoon, according to the California Highway Patrol. Officers responded to a report of an accident off of northbound Highway 680 at Stone Valley Road around 1:30 p.m., CHP Officer Ron Simmons said.

The man was driving a 2003 Yamaha RS motorcycle that went off the roadway and crashed into a tree, CHP officials said.
