IMPERIAL COUNTY, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - California Highway Patrol (CHP) says a motorcyclist died after being hit by a man driving a Ford F-450 on August 5.

The crash happened on Interstate 8 (I-8), about 15 minutes west of El Centro, and CHP says the 37-year-old victim was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. He was pronounced dead on scene.

In addition, a 55-year-old woman also died following a crash with a semi-truck Wednesday morning at intersection in the El Centro area.

CHP says a 62-year-old Brawley man was driving a the semi, and the woman was taken to Desert Regional Hospital, but later died from her injuries.
