Update per CHP (Sunday, 1:27 pm)
FATAL MOTORCYCLE COLLISION ON SR-160
Last night at about 8:28pm, Contra Costa CHP was advised of a traffic collision on the southbound lanes of SR-160 at the Wilbur Avenue on-ramp. Upon CHP and emergency personnel arrival, the male rider of the motorcycle had been ejected into the lanes of traffic on SR-160 and hit by another vehicle.
The male rider was pronounced deceased at the scene. The southbound lanes of SR-160 were closed for approximately 2 hours for the collision investigation while traffic was diverted to the Wilbur Avenue off-ramp.
In the initial investigation and with the help of several witnesses, it appears that the solo male driver of the motorcycle (a 54yr old male from Brentwood) was traveling on the Wilbur Avenue on-ramp and entering southbound SR-160 with several other motorcyclists.
It appears the male rider drove over the gore point on the on-ramp to enter SR-160 and collided with the curb, subsequently ejecting him from his motorcycle. He was catapulted into the lanes of southbound traffic where he was struck by another vehicle, while his motorcycle continued into the lanes of traffic as well and was also struck by another vehicle. The rider was pronounced deceased at the scene. The other vehicles that were involved in this collision stopped and remained at the scene. But the reported other motorcyclists riding with the 54yr old man left the scene prior to CHP and emergency personnel arrival and have not been located.
At this time, it is unknown if alcohol or drugs were a factor in this collision but it’s still under investigation. If anyone witnessed this collision or the events leading up to it on Wilbur Avenue, please contact Contra Costa CHP in Martinez, (925) 646-4980, and Investigating Officer T. Johnson. Thank you.

I love you Dad, rest in peace. I will miss you forever. Your daughter, Brittney.
Brittany I am so sorry for your loss. My husband and your dad were friends. He was a great man. It’s so sad others left him behind. And these other people aka keyboard warriors, don’t let them get to you. If they didn’t know him or weren’t with him at that moment they shouldn’t comment. They are pieces of shit. Your dad loved his bike and I know he’s watching over you. We are thinking of you all during this difficult emotional time.
Dirt Bag…..learn how to drive in hell
Karma headed your way champ.
Seriously? You didn’t know him, this is my father and he was a good man that died tragically. Who are you to be so cold, he has three children and two grandchildren that miss him terribly. I want to know who you are frank and we can handle this.
May god rest your soul. Love and prayers to your family and friends. And screw you Frank
What kind of biker brothers was this person riding with? Sad THEY left the scene of the accident…..we’ll see if karma comes their way. R.I.P. bro. ?
Absolutely, he was a great man and would do anything for his brothers and his kids still can’t believe he was left alone.
Good. One less POS on a motorcycle to worry about. Love it, keep ’em coming Frank.
Kent where do you live also because you can act tough behind a computer but I’m sure you’ll piss yourself if your ever confronted, I hope you never have to lose a great person so tragically

This is a great shock to me. Your father was a great guy. I always enjoyed talking to him and we talked a lot about life together. Condolences to your family. RIP brother.
I’m not sure who these crackheads are that talk shit about the dead but I hope karma gets you before people like me fine you. My condolences to my friend Jessica & to Brittney . I’m not sure if I know you ( Brittney ) I dated Jessica’s mom ( Jill ) years ago.

And then i ll let comments to ur family wat a dick ur were!…cuz u definitly had “NO BALLS” lol to say it to this man or to his families face!!!!
Idiots!!!….
I just learned of this yesterday. So sad! Mark, “Moe” was a dear friend. He loved his family. He would absolutely have your back if you were a friend. And if you weren’t a friend, you probably needed to stay out of his way. (: Maybe he didn’t always make the smartest choices, but he stood with integrity. Many years ago, he lived a lot of life very near where that onramp is now. Dirt riding on a Husqvarna 400,movies at the old Bridgehead drive-in, lots of life… Rest in Peace, my brother! Ride on…
