A 64-year-old Costa Mesa man has been killed in a chain-reaction crash on I-5 in Mission Viejo, according to a news report.
The California Highway Patrol said that John Meyer was on a 2013 Piaggio scooter in heavy traffic on I-5 when he was rear-ended by a 2006 Dodge that was going too fast. The Dodge ran into the back of Meyer’s scooter as well as another vehicle, sending both into three other vehicles. Meyer was thrown from his scooter onto the freeway and died at the scene.
The driver of the Dodge — identified as a Laguna Niguel man — was taken to Mission Hospital. The four other drivers involved in the crash were not injured.
