SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A motorcyclist was fatally injured in a collision with a Sacramento police vehicle, the Police Department said Tuesday.

The crash occurred shortly after 8:10 p.m. Monday as the officer driving the vehicle was responding to a felony in progress, a department statement said.

The man riding the motorcycle was taken to a hospital where he later was pronounced dead. His name was withheld pending notification of next of kin.
