Yuba City, CA – On the morning of Wednesday, July 30, 2025, a fatal two-vehicle collision resulted in motorcyclist Timothy Daniel, 61, losing his life, according to The Sacramento Bee, with additional reporting from CHP Fatal.
Officials from the California Highway Patrol stated that the incident occurred at approximately 8:45 AM near the intersection of Highway 99 and Bogue Road.
Emergency personnel were dispatched to the scene following reports of a crash involving a motorcycle and a passenger vehicle.
Timothy Daniel, who was a resident of Live Oak and worked as a mechanic, had been operating a Harley-Davidson motorcycle traveling in the northbound lanes of Highway 99. As he approached the intersection at Bogue Road, a southbound Nissan Rogue reportedly initiated a left-hand turn in front of the motorcycle. The vehicles collided in the intersection, causing Daniel to be ejected from the motorcycle.
Medical personnel responded and transported Daniel to a nearby medical facility, where he was later pronounced deceased. The driver of the Nissan remained at the location of the collision and cooperated with authorities. There were no additional injuries reported in connection with the incident.
At the time of the crash, Daniel was believed to be returning home from a night shift at his place of employment in West Sacramento. Following the collision, traffic was impacted on Highway 99 in both directions as first responders worked to clear the scene and conduct an investigation.
Daniel’s family has started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for his funeral service and to help support his spouse.
The cause of the collision remains under active investigation by the California Highway Patrol. No arrests or citations had been announced at the time of this report.
