The San Mateo County Coroner’s Office has identified the motorcyclist who died early Tuesday morning, Dec. 28, after striking a disabled vehicle on U.S. Highway 101 near Willow Road in Menlo Park.
He was Adam Christopher Wolf, a 36-year-old from San Jose, according to the Coroner’s Office.
The fatal collision closed the southbound lanes of Highway 101 between approximately 4 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. and southbound traffic was diverted off the highway off-ramp north at Marsh Road.
Officers responded to a 3:50 a.m. report of the collision between a Honda Accord and a 2018 Kawasaki Ninja sport motorcycle, and at 4:04 a.m. issued a SigAlert closing the southbound lanes and then contacted the coroner’s office.
A 31-year-old Sunnyvale man lost control of the 1999 Accord and the car was stopped in the fast lane of southbound 101, north of Willow Road, with no lights on, the CHP reported. According to witnesses, the motorcyclist drove into the disabled car’s rear passenger door and was pronounced dead at the scene, the CHP report said.
No information about the victim was immediately available.
Drugs or alcohol do not appear to be a factor in the collision, the CHP said. Any witnesses are asked to contact Officer D. Myers at 650-369-6261.
