Norwalk – A 39-year-old man was killed in a single motorcycle accident on the 5 Freeway in Norwalk this morning.
The victim was identified by the coroner’s office as Kenneth Stovall.
According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), Stovall was travelling at high speed on the northbound lanes of the Santa Fe (5) Freeway aboard a 2004 Honda, when he suddenly crashed into the center divider.
Stovall was then thrown on the southbound lanes where he was struck by at least three vehicles.
He was declared dead on the scene.
Authorities had to close the southbound lanes for about three hours after the crash.
Incidentally, a second collision happened soon after as a big rig truck rear-ended a stopped vehicle.
There were no injuries in the second crash.
