Freeway 110 is slated to reopen after a deadly motorcycle accident on Sunday afternoon. According to the California Highway Patrol, the driver drove his 2000 Harley Davidson motorcycle into the bus lane, crashing into sand-filled yellow containers.  Officials responding to the scene of the deadly accident identified the man as 55-year-old Darrell Harrison from Alta Loma California.  A CHP statement indicated that Harrison attempted to apply his breaks, yet was unable to “stop safely.” The accident shut down all northbound traffic on the 110 free way going up to Downtown Los Angeles. Motorcycle accidents on freeways can be especially deadly because of the high speeds of traffic.
