Coroner IDs Motorcyclist Killed In I-80 Crash In Berkeley

BERKELEY (CBS SF) -- A man killed in a crash involving a motorcycle and a big-rig on  Friday afternoon on Interstate Highway 80 in Berkeley has been identified by  the Alameda County coroner's bureau as Timothy Ray Walker, 33, of Vallejo.

Walker had been riding his motorcycle on I-80 just west of Gilman  Street at about 3:45 p.m. when the crash occurred, according to the  California Highway Patrol.

Traffic was backed up on eastbound I-80 during the evening commute  because of lane closures in effect during the crash investigation, the CHP  said.
