During the weekend, the Orange County Coroner’s Office released the name of the motorcyclist who died in a solo crash in Huntington Beach, California. On Saturday, July 25th, the coroner named Tommy Duong, 30, a resident of Santa Ana, as the fatal victim.

The accident reports showed that the man crashed his motorcycle into a utility pole on Friday, July 24th. Sgt. Matthew Austin of the Huntington Beach Police Department said that the incident happened on Brookhurst Street south of Effingham Drive at approximately 7:50 p.m.

The investigation into the cause of the accident is ongoing. Anyone with relevant information about the occurrence should contact the HBPD Investigator J. Gasteiger on the listed line.
