A man was killed early Tuesday when his motorcycle ran a red light and slammed into a SUV at an Oceanside intersection.

Two police officers saw the motorcyclist headed toward the intersection of Mission Avenue and North Coast Highway at a high rate of speed and enter the crossing against a red light around 2:30 a.m., Oceanside Police Sgt. Nate Brazelton said.

The rider died at the scene. His name was not immediately available, but he was 27, according to NBC7.

Brazelton said the SUV’s driver was shaken up, but did not appear to be injured.
