The motorcyclist exited on Spring St. and continued eastbound on Spring St...but when the CHP officer exited on Spring St., he lost visual contact with the motorcyclist.

The CHP officer was heading back (northbound) on Norwalk Blvd. -- by which time the officer had discontinued the pursuit, PIO Perez says -- when he approached Wardlow Rd. and noticed that a collision had occurred. [CHP has previously indicated the accident was reported at approx. 6:09 a.m.]

CHP says the motorcycle was northbound on Norwalk Blvd. and broadsided a minivan traveling westbound on Wardlow Rd. The impact caused fatal injuries to both parties. (No other passengers were involved).
