The Los Angeles County Coroner’s office has released the name of a man who died after losing control of his motorcycle on the Angeles Crest Highway.

The California Highway Patrol had responded to the motorcycle accident at 11:22 a.m. on Sept. 22 on Angeles Crest Highway mile marker 27.65.

The driver, Dan Cretu, 38, of Valley Village had apparently lost control of his motorcycle. No other vehicle was involved in the accident.
