Speed is believed to have been a factor.
A man died today when he crashed his 2009 Yamaha RZF-R6 motorcycle into a North Long Beach building.
The crash occurred about 11 a.m. near the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and 59th Street, said Long Beach police.
The preliminary investigation indicated the 22-year-old Long Beach man was northbound on Atlantic from South Street when he lost control and crashed into the building. Speed is believed to have been a factor but it is not known whether drugs and/or alcohol played a part, police said.
The man was taken by paramedics to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said. His name was withheld pending notification of relatives.
