A 22-year-old Fremd High School graduate was killed last weekend when he crashed his motorcycle in California, according to media reports.
Alexander Mackenzie Williams, who was currently lived in Escondido, Calif., died following a two-vehicle crash near the Del Mar Fairgrounds shortly before 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, according to Fox 5 San Diego.
Fox 5 San Diego reports William was traveling at a high rate of speed when he lost control, swerved into oncoming traffic and was thrown from his motorcycle, which then crashed into a Toyota Sedan. He died at the scene of the crash.

"(He) could frequently be seen in town driving his beloved two tone cream and tan 1980 Camero," according to his obituary.
