Solano County Coroner IDs Travis AFB Man Killed In Motorcycle Accident

A Fairfield man died Saturday when his motorcycle collided with a vehicle in Suisun City, a police sergeant said.

The Solano County coroner’s office and Suisun City police identified the motorcyclist as 25-year-old Eric Michael Embree.

Embree was from Florida but was stationed at Travis Air Force Base, according to the coroner’s office.

Embree was riding his 2011 BMW motorcycle west on Pintail Drive at about 4:40 p.m. Saturday when it struck the front passenger side of a Mercedes-Benz sedan that was turning left from eastbound Pintail Drive onto northbound Deercreek Way, Suisun City police Sgt. Daniel Healy said.

Embree, who was wearing a helmet, was thrown from the motorcycle and landed near a concrete retaining wall on the northwest corner of the intersection. He was taken to NorthBay Medical Center in Fairfield, where he died from his injuries, Healy said.

The driver and passengers in the Mercedes suffered minor injuries.

The collision is still under investigation, Healy said.

The crash closed Pintail Drive between Parkside and Village drives for several hours, Healy said.

Anyone who saw the collision is asked to call Suisun City police Senior Officer Mike Urlaub at (707) 421-7373.
