The Roseville Police Department (RPD) reports that the accident took place around 5:30 PM near the intersection of Blue Oaks Drive and Woodcreek Oaks Boulevard.
Emergency personnel responded to the scene and transported the motorcyclist to Sutter Roseville Medical Center with serious injuries. He was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

Wrongful Death Claims & Comparative Negligence
Determining fault in a collision can involve multiple factors, and under California’s Comparative Negligence rule, several parties can share partial responsibility. Should someone else be found even partly responsible for the death, the family may be able to file a Wrongful Death claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance. This can provide compensation to help cover medical bills, funeral expenses, and the loss of income to support the family of the deceased.
