Lois J. Meier passed away in Fresno on March 24, 2003,

A 28-year-old Morgan Hill resident died in a traffic collision Sunday night while riding a motorcycle on U.S. 101, according to police. Julio Rodriguez was riding a 2012 Suzuki motorcycle northbound at an “undetermined speed” on the freeway, just north of the East Middle Avenue overpass, when he collided with at least two other vehicles about 6:05 p.m., according to California Highway Patrol Officer Herb Kellogg. According to police reports, Rodriguez first collided with a Nissan Titan while the motorcycle was changing lanes. Rodriguez then lost control of the motorcycle and crashed into a GMC Sierra. He was ejected from the motorcycle and “tumbled” onto the roadway while the motorcycle traveled onto the shoulder of the freeway, Kellogg said. Police are still investigating the accident, and reports that a third vehicle might have been involved and collided with Rodriguez, Kellogg said. Rodriguez was pronounced dead at the scene when paramedics arrived, police said. Two northbound lanes on U.S. 101 were closed for more than two hours following the accident while police investigated the scene, according to Kellogg. No citations or arrests were issued at the scene of the accident, Kellogg added.
