The collision happened around 5 p.m. in southbound lanes of the freeway at Page Mill Road, the CHP said in a news release.

The CHP said the motorcyclist was taken to an area hospital, where he died of his injuries. He was not identified Wednesday.
The driver of the Dodge stopped at the scene, according to the CHP.
“The investigation into this incident is ongoing,” the CHP said in the news release.
