Antioch man killed in solo Pittsburg motorcycle accident

A motorcyclist was killed in Pittsburg on Saturday evening after his motorcycle hit a curb, police said.

Kent Anderson, 34, of Antioch, was riding along Marina Boulevard near Pelican Loop with five other motorcyclists around 7:19 p.m. when he veered to the side of the road near a turn and hit the curb, said Pittsburg police Lt. Jim Calia.

Anderson, who was riding at about the speed limit, was thrown from the motorcycle and hit a tree, Calia said. He was taken to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek where he was pronounced dead, Calia said.

Police do not know why Anderson veered to the side or whether alcohol was involved, Calia said, but no other vehicles or motorcycles were involved.
