One person was killed, while another was hospitalized following a motorcycle head-on collision in Butte County on Thursday evening, June 27, 2024.

Initial reports suggest that a juvenile from Magalia was riding an unspecified motorcycle going south on Skyway using the northbound lane.

When CHP officers arrived, they found the two motorcyclists with severe injuries. They were then airlifted to Enloe Hospital for treatment.
The Stirling City man, later identified as 31-year-old Aaron D., died at the hospital at around 3:00 a.m. on Friday.
On the other hand, the Magalia juvenile rider was transferred to U.C. Davis for further medical care. CHP could not get an update on the injured juvenile’s current condition.
The motorcycle vs. motorcycle crash is still under investigation. No further information was immediately available.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
