How the Plaza Drive Motorcycle Crash Unfolded

Investigators said the motorcyclist was heading southbound when the motorcycle struck the back of a pickup truck. The Visalia Police Department said the pickup was stopped at a red traffic light. The rider died at the scene, and police have not released the person's name.
Where the Visalia Police Investigation Stands
Plaza Drive and Riggin Avenue were closed for a time while officers worked the scene. Both roads have since reopened. The crash remains under investigation, and police have not announced any charges.
Which agency investigates often depends on where the crash happened. Highway crashes are often handled by state police or highway patrol, and crashes on city streets by local officers.

Lost someone in a crash like this?
Here is what families in California usually need, in the order it comes up.
Death certificates. The funeral home or the family can order them, and banks and insurers each usually want a copy.
Crash report. The crash report is usually ready a few weeks after the crash, and you can still get it later.
Funeral costs. Every state has a victim fund that pays funeral costs after some crashes, and the fund decides who qualifies.
