A 19-year-old man was killed in a traffic collision early Sunday morning on Montello Avenue, west of Arlington Street, according to Metro Police.
The collision occurred at 5:44 a.m. when Yelstin Cardona and a male passenger were riding on a 1997 Honda CBR motorcycle southbound on Montell Avenue. Cardona tried to make a left turn but failed to stay in his travel lane and struck a curb, drove on to the driveway of a residence on Montello Avenue and collided with a parked 2003 Toyota Tacoma, according to Metro.
Cardona was transported to University Medical Center Trauma Center with critical injuries and the passenger, who has not yet been identified, was pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel.
This is the 54th traffic-related fatality in Metro's jurisdiction this year.
