Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station deputies received a call from a concerned resident about a speeding dirt bike in the Food For Less parking lot at Whites Canyon Road and Soledad Canyon Road around 4:38 p.m., according to Sheriff’s Department records.

Deputies responded to investigate, but could not find the dirt bike rider.

At 5 p.m., sheriff and fire officials received a call regarding a crash in the parking lot next to the Walmart on Carl Boyer Drive in Canyon, according to Los Angeles County Fire Department officials.

A  “250 cc style” bike crashed into a moving vehicle in the parking lot.

The driver, who was reportedly not wearing a helmet, was taken to the emergency room where the motorcycle rider died of his injuries.

Officials did not release the names of the either party in the collision.

Deputies are investigating to determine if the two reports might be related, and they are still investigating the cause of the crash.

The collision prompted Sheriff’s Station officials to cordon off a portion of the Walmart parking lot as they investigated the scene.
