The motorcyclist who died in a solo crash in rural Napa County, California, has been identified. On Monday, July 6th, the Napa County Coroner’s Office named the victim as Moises David Santos Hidalgo, a 25-year-old resident of San Francisco.

Henry Wofford, the spokesperson for the sheriff’s office, said in the updated accident reports released on Monday that the victim died on Saturday, July 4th. Hidalgo was riding his motorcycle on Berryessa Knoxville Road shortly before noon when he crashed into a guardrail on the roadway.

First responders declared the man dead at the scene. The investigation to determine the cause is underway, and the California Highway Patrol is heading it.

California has over 800 000 registered motorcycle riders, and the CHP creates a safety program for new and existing riders to navigate the roadway safely. The program, as listed by the Cal-Department of Motor Vehicles, consists of a 15-hour classroom and on-cycle Basic Rider Course (BRC).

The BRC is compulsory for riders under the age of 21, but those who are 21 and above and want to apply for a motorcycle license must also undergo it. After completing the course, a participant would get a Certificate of Completion of Motorcycle Training by the motorcycle training facility.

Additionally, riders must wear a safety helmet that is compliant with the US-DOT guidelines, and they have to make themselves visible. Motorcyclists should communicate their intention to other road users, keep adequate space for passing and lane splitting, and be prepared to act always.
