I was wondering too so I googled it. Here is a bit more story on the accident.


Investigators believe that Selleh was trying to avoid a white 1991 Toyota Corolla that had struck the center divider just south of Highland Avenue, careened out of control and became disabled in the roadway.

They believe that Selleh was struck by a vehicle trying to avoid the Corolla and was thrown from his motorcycle. Other cars collided as drivers struck the Corolla or tried to avoid hitting it, said California Highway Patrol Officer Alex Delgadillo.

The unidentified driver of the Corolla was questioned and released, police said. The CHP did not have a tally Sunday night on the number of injuries.

Brad Baker, a video director who runs his own business, was leaving a nearby party where he had been working when he heard a loud crash and a long screech of tires. He ran to the freeway. By the time he arrived, he said the officer's motorcycle was already lying on its side.

For nine minutes, Baker said he filmed car after car traveling over the Cahuenga Pass at speeds he estimated to be about 70 mph. Cars spun out and skidded, with some slamming into the wreckage. Some drivers avoided the first few crashed vehicles only to smash into others beyond them, said Baker, whose video was purchased by KTLA-TV Channel 5 and also appears on latimes.com
