LBPD says officers responded at about 12:00 a.m. and a preliminary investigation revealed that the victims, both LB residents, were traveling westbound on 4th St. at Cherry Ave. on their motorcycles when they entered the intersection on a green light. "Upon doing so, they collided with a burgandy 2001 Chevy Tahoe traveling southbound on Cherry Avenue entering the intersection against a red light," LBPD says in a release.

LBFD responded and transported David Golz, 29, to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead due to major head trauma.

LBPD says witnesses followed the 2001 Chevy Tahoe to the area of 3rd St./Pine Ave. and called police.
