According to the California Highway Patrol, the deadly collision happened shortly before 6:00 PM at the intersection of Service Road and Moffett Road. The pickup was traveling west on Service, approaching Moffett at an unknown speed.
 
At the same time, a maroon BMX bike, driven by Bryant, was also approaching the intersection when it entered the pickup’s path for unknown reasons.
