LAKE LOS ANGELES – A motorcyclist died Friday night after a driver turned left in front of his motorcycle in Lake Los Angeles, authorities said.
Robert Tellez, 41, of Palmdale, was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision, which happened around 8:21 p.m. Friday, July 30, on 170th Street East at Avenue N-12, according to a California Highway Patrol report and the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office.
