Motorcyclist Killed in Fullerton Crash at Orangethorpe Ave and Gilbert St Identified

Fullerton, California: Authorities identified the motorcyclist who died in a motorcycle accident involving a DUI driver Wednesday night in Fullerton as 28-year-old Alexander Marce.

The Anaheim resident died in a crash that happened around 9:45 p.m. at Orangethorpe Avenue and Gilbert Street.

Authorities said Marce was riding a Harley-Davidson on Orangethorpe when he stopped for a red light at the intersection with Gilbert.

44-year-old Francisco Garcia-Vargas of Fullerton was driving a BMW east on Orangethorpe when he ran the red light and rear-ended Marce’s bike.

Marce was thrown from the motorcycle into the east of the intersection.

The BMW dragged the motorcycle under the front of the car, and bystanders kept the driver from fleeing the scene.

First responders pronounced Marce dead at the scene.

Police officers arrested Garcia-Vargas on suspicion of driving without a license, felony driving under the influence, and gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated.

Authorities said another collision occurred at the scene during the investigation. Around midnight, a patrol vehicle was blocking traffic lanes with its emergency lights on and flares placed in the roadway when a Tesla crashed into it.

The patrol car was not occupied at the time of the collision. The investigators were able to avoid the crash.

The driver of the Tesla told authorities that he had engaged the vehicle’s ‘self drive’ mode while he used his cell phone. The driver was not injured.

Police officers are investigating the collision.
