A 24-year-old woman was killed Saturday afternoon when the motorcycle she was riding collided with two cars driving northbound on the 55 Freeway in Costa Mesa, the California Highway Patrol reported. Officer Anselmo Templado said the Orange County Communications Center notified the Santa Ana CHP Station at 2:19 p.m. regarding a traffic crash with an ambulance on route to a portion of the freeway under the I-405 northbound HOV flyover. Investigators believe the motorcyclist was riding in between two lanes when she struck two vehicles, a tan Toyota Camry and a white Ford Ranger, Templado said Tuesday.
