A 24-year-old Santa Ana man has died in a bizarre motorcycle crash that involved two separate accidents and a driver suspected of DUI, according to a news report.
The California Highway Patrol said that Dayton Hudson was riding his motorcycle south on the 55 freeway when he crashed into the back of a car, went through a chain link fence and landed in nearby Ritchey Street.
A passerby on Ritchey saw Hudson and was crossing the street to help when he and Hudson were struck by a car driven by Jesus Mendoza Hernandez, who was arrested on suspicion of DUI. Hudson and the man who tried to help him were taken to area hospitals for treatment. Hudson died shortly thereafter; the good Samaritan was being treated for moderate to severe injuries.
