NICE, Calif. – The California Highway Patrol is investigating a Monday night crash that resulted in a motorcyclist’s death, and officers are seeking information on a vehicle that was reported to have left the scene.

The crash occurred at 11:35 p.m. Monday on Highway 20 east of Pomo Way near Nice, according to the CHP’s Clear Lake Area office.

Josh Anthony Calderon, 29, of Santa Paula, who also recently was living in Nice, died in the wreck, according to Lt. Corey Paulich of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.

The CHP said Calderon was riding a black 2005 Harley Davidson motorcycle westbound on Highway 20 at an unknown speed.

According to the report, the motorcycle laid down on its left side and began to slide in a westerly direction, ejecting Calderon, who came to a stop in the center of the roadway, straddling the double yellow lines.

The motorcycle continued to slide to its place of rest, partially on the north shoulder of Highway 20 with its headlights still on, the CHP said.

The CHP said 28-year-old Cynthia Pacheco of Nice was driving a gold 2002 Chrysler Sebring eastbound on Highway 20, east of Pomo Way, at approximately 45 miles per hour.

Pacheco saw the Harley Davidson on the shoulder and then, at the last moment, saw Calderon lying partially in the eastbound lane, directly in her vehicle’s path of travel. The CHP said Pacheco was unable to react in time and the left front of her vehicle drove over Calderon.

The CHP said Pacheco stopped on the shoulder and then returned to the scene. While Pacheco was turning around, a second vehicle was traveling westbound on Highway 20 and also ran over Calderon. The second vehicle continued to drive westbound on Highway 20 and did not return to the scene.

Calderon died of his injuries at the scene and was transported to Chapel of Lakes Mortuary, the CHP said.

The CHP said it’s so far unknown if drugs or alcohol were a factor for Calderon.

Anyone with information related to the second unknown vehicle that ran over Calderon is asked to contact Officer Wade at the Kelseyville CHP Office at 707-279-0103.
