Dumitru was forced to slip for roughly 91 feet as a result of heavy braking. He swerved to the right in an effort to avoid the crash, but he was not successful in his efforts. The motorcycle’s rider lost control of the vehicle after the front bumper of the Hyundai connected with the left side of the motorcycle, which then caused the motorcycle to rotate counterclockwise and land on its right side.

Despite the fact that there had been efforts made to save Dumitru’s life, it was determined that he had passed away at the scene. The woman who was driving the Hyundai had injuries, but they were not believed to be life-threatening, and an ambulance transported her to the hospital.

The California Highway Patrol reports that neither drink nor drugs, nor excessive speed, were factors in this crash.
