A motorcyclist was killed Saturday on the 57 Freeway in Brea, authorities said.

The incident was first reported as a collision between a motorcycle and vehicle but the CHP later was unsure if the motorcycle and vehicle crashed or the motorcycle just went down in lanes.

A SigAlert was issued at 5:54 p.m. for all northbound lanes just south of Imperial Highway, with traffic taken off at Yorba Linda Boulevard.

The HOV lane reopened at about 5:30 p.m.

All lanes were reopened at 7:55 p.m., the CHP said.
