UPDATE (11:45 p.m.) - A motorcyclist died following a crash on Los Berros Rd. outside Arroyo Grande.

According to CHP, the motorcyclist, a 31-year-old man from Santa Maria, was riding his 2007 Yamaha motorcycle westbound on Los Berros Rf. east of Century Lane at an unknown speed when he failed to follow the direction of the marked roadway lines.

In a press release, officers said the Ford F-150 hit the motorcyclist who later died from his injuries.
