A 50-year-old Merced man is dead after a hit-and-run traffic collision on Belcher Avenue.

The victim was riding his motorcycle on east Belcher Avenue, according to CHP Sgt. Daniel Bowens. The suspect vehicle (possibly a Green Honda Civic) was driving west on Belcher, turned southbound onto Beachwood, hits the motorcycle, and continues driving.

The victim was ejected, CHP say.

After the fatal collision, a Chevrolet was driving eastbound on Belcher Avenue, accidentally crashes into the motorcycle, not the victim. The driver of the Chevrolet stayed on scene.

CHP is investigating the incident.
