Ventura, CA – On the afternoon of Monday, December 15, 2025, a motorcyclist lost their life in a collision with a box truck, according to CHP Fatal.
The California Highway Patrol reports that the accident took place around 3:48 PM at the intersection of East Hueneme Road and Raytheon Road.
Authorities said the motorcycle was found lying in the middle of the roadway following the impact with the box truck. Emergency personnel responded to the scene and provided aid, but the rider’s injuries were fatal.
Officials reported that the time of death was confirmed at 3:58 PM by a Ventura County Fire Department paramedic. Road personnel coordinated with Ventura Towing to remove the motorcycle from the roadway and ensure traffic control during the response.
No additional details about the box truck driver or the circumstances leading to the collision were released, and CHP officials said the investigation into the incident remains ongoing.
Wrongful Death Claims & Comparative Negligence
Determining fault in a collision can involve multiple factors, and under California’s Comparative Negligence rule, several parties can share partial responsibility.
Should someone else be found even partly responsible for the death, the family may be able to file a Wrongful Death claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance. This can provide compensation to help cover medical bills, funeral expenses, and the loss of income to support the family of the deceased.
