A 21-year-old U.S. Marine was killed after he was involved in a Lake Forest motorcycle accident, according to a news report.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department said that Scott Gonzalez was riding with his brother, who was on another motorcycle, when he collided with an SUV at Toledo Way and Lake Forest Drive. The SUV and motorcycle caught fire and his brother and bystanders pulled Gonzalez from the wreckage. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The brother was uninjured; the SUV driver suffered minor injuries. Gonzalez was stationed at Camp Pendleton.
Investigators are trying to determine the cause of the fatal motorcycle crash.
