Was in the area around the same time riding with 2 buddies. Got flagged down at Frank Raines by one of the workers and was informed of the accident and road closure. Waited 30 minutes and then decided head back the way we came.

RIP Rider.

Story today in the Modesto Bee (also in the Murk but behind paywall):

A 49-year-old man from San Jose died after crashing a motorcycle into a fence in Del Puerto Canyon west of Patterson on Sunday morning, the California Highway Patrol reported.

The accident was reported about 11:30 a.m. on Del Puerto Canyon Road about a mile east of the Frank Raines Off-Highway Vehicle Park, according to a news release.

CHP officers arrived to find a man down on the north shoulder of the road, near a damaged motorcycle. He was declared dead at the scene.

The preliminary investigation found the man was eastbound on Del Puerto Canyon Road, riding a 2007 Suzuki at undetermined speed.

He apparently lost control as he approached a right bend in the road. The motorcycle crossed into the westbound lane and went off the north shoulder of the road, where it struck a metal pole fence and the rider was thrown.​

It happened here:
