Officers contacted the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner who later identified the victim as Alex Tranchina.
California Highway Patrol officers had to shut down the transition road so they could investigate the scene, CHP officer Michael Nasir said. The cause of this accident is still unclear, although the time of day means it was dark, which makes visibility more difficult.

No matter the outcome of this investigation, it is still a tragedy.
