Investigators say Alan King was behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler, when he pulled out of a parking lot and blocked several lanes of traffic on Fallbrook near Fallbrook Pines as he waited to turn.

That's when sheriff deputies say a man on a motorcycle who didn't see the 18-wheeler slammed into the side of it.

Investigators say the motorcyclist tried to stop, but couldn't before he hit the 18-wheeler.

The man was taken by Life Flight helicopter to Memorial Hermann Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

His identity has not been released.
