According to CHP Officer John Lutz, Veliz was driving his Yamaha motorcycle northbound on San Francisquito Canyon Road when he collided with a 2005 Nissan Titan pickup truck.

    As a rider, I have to ask, what is a 19 year old doing on that road at that time of night? It’s terribly sad. I just wish people would respect the danger of riding.

    Saman, the accident occurred in the afternoon. It was not a midnight accident. Prayers to the family and those involved. Thank you to all who assisted in the efforts of trying to save this young man prior to the arrival of LACO Fire and CHP.

    As a rider I have to ask what difference does it make that he was 19 on the road at that hour. he was 19, not 9.
