A motorcyclist was killed this Sunday morning in a traffic crash on the Artesia (91) Freeway in Cerritos.

It happened about 2:35 a.m on the westbound freeway, west of Shoemaker Avenue, where the 37-year-old biker from Long Beach was reported down in the carpool lane, the California Highway Patrol reported.

The motorcyclist, who died at the scene, may have been rear ended by a party bus, the CHP said.

He was riding a 2008 Yamaha, going westbound when the bike veered to the right and in front of the vehicle, the CHP said.
