A 55-year-old Orland man reportedly died in a motorcycle collision with an SUV near County Road 20 and County Road P in Glenn County shortly before 4 a.m. on September 4, 2026.

Reported crash details

GJEL’s initial account attributed the incident details to the California Highway Patrol. A September 4 report from Pacific Attorney Group, also citing CHP, describes the motorcycle traveling west on County Road 20 and a Kia Niro traveling north on County Road P.

The available account identifies the SUV driver as a 30-year-old Chico woman and says she was not injured. The rider’s identity was not included in the report.

Limits of the available information

The original CHP release or incident record was not independently retrieved for this update. The summary above is limited to the basic details in the cited secondary report and GJEL’s earlier coverage. It does not establish a final cause or determine responsibility.

Keeping records after this collision

For those involved, useful records include the incident number, vehicle and insurance information, and any photographs or witness contact details already available. Keep the original files and separate what you personally observed from what you learned afterward.

GJEL’s motorcycle accident lawyers can explain what a review of the available records involves. Information about GJEL’s fee arrangement is also available.

Source check: September 8, 2026. Direct CHP confirmation remains outstanding.
