A motorcyclist was pinned under a city of Henderson truck Wednesday afternoon after the on-duty employee failed to yield, police said.
The crash happened about 2:10 p.m. near the intersection of San Gabriel Avenue and San Leandro Street. The initial investigation showed that Henderson city employee Nathan Ball, 41, failed to yield to the 30-year-old motorcyclist.
