MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – The California Highway Patrol has released the name of a man who died when his motorcycle collided with a vehicle on Saturday afternoon.

Jeffrey Keith Boorn, 51, of Hidden Valley Lake died in the wreck, which occurred on Highway 175 west of Socrates Mine Road near Middletown, according to CHP Officer Kory Reynolds.

The CHP's initial report on the crash said Boorn was traveling westbound on a 1998 Honda Super Hawk at an undetermined rate of speed when he lost control in a turn and the motorcycle went down.

Boorn's motorcycle slid into the oncoming lane and the path of a 2002 Chrysler Sebring driven by 62-year-old Cobb resident William Chambers Jr., who was unable to stop before the motorcycle hit his car.

The CHP said Boorn died at the scene.

A fundraising page has been set up for Boorn's family at http://www.gofundme.com/boornmemorialfund .

Boorn – a husband and father of two who worked at Tire Pros in Clearlake – was reported to have been on his way home from work when the crash occurred.

The fundraiser's organizers are trying to raise $15,000 to help the family. As of late Tuesday afternoon, nearly $5,900 had been raised.
