One man was taken to a hospital after the motorcycle he was riding crashed in the northbound lanes of Highway 14 about half a mile north of Placerita Canyon Road at 5:20 p.m. Wednesday.

The Fire Department did not know the extent of the man's injuries, a Fire Department official said.

The No. 3 and No. 4 lanes of the highway were blocked for just less than an hour to allow CHP officers to investigate the crash, the report said.

A Nissan Maxima with several passengers reportedly cut off the motorcycle causing it to crash, according to a California Highway Patrol report.
