The rider was found unresponsive and later pronounced dead at the scene. A sedan was also stopped in the lanes, but no additional injuries were reported.

During the investigation, inbound traffic was diverted onto I-10, causing significant delays through the early morning hours. Authorities have now completed their work, and all lanes have reopened to traffic.
