Police Major Ronald Santillan, Calatrava police chief, said Son lost control of his motorcycle while he was on his way home on the curved part of the road and rammed the two vehicles.

Santillan said Son might have not estimated his speed that caused him to swerve and hit the parked vehicles.

The victim was not wearing a helmet and sustained head injuries, Santillan said.
