LANCASTER – The motorcyclist killed May 11 in a Lancaster collision with a suspected DUI driver has been publicly identified.

He was 31-year-old Benjamin Lobbins, according to the coroner’s office. His city of residence was not available.

Deputies from the Lancaster Station of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department responded around 5:15 p.m. Thursday, May 11, to the intersection of Avenue K at Sixth Street East, where they learned the driver of a Lincoln Zephyr made a left turn from westbound Avenue K in front of the motorcyclist, who was eastbound on Avenue K, said Sgt. Michael Politano.

It is unknown if the motorcyclist’s speed was a factor in the crash.

The driver of the Lincoln was found to have been driving under the influence and was arrested for gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, Politano said.

Anyone with information regarding this collision was asked to call the Lancaster Sheriff Station at 661-948-8466.

    Motorcycles and bicycle riders put their lives in the hands of strangers when they ride on the roads of Antelope Valley.

    Then we have the sub species who walk in the cross walks wearing ear phones and looking at their phones…

    Of course Dim Scott has all the answers
