The Orange County coroner's office reports a local man died in a Santa Ana wreck this week.

According to the Orange County coroner's office, 20-year-old Francisco Rincon suffered fatal injuries in a crash on Thursday in Santa Ana.

Reports indicate the man was riding his Yamaha R6 motorcycle through the intersection of 1st Street and Olive Street in Santa Ana at 9:51 p.m. when the collision occurred.  The driver in the truck, a Ford-F150, was making a u-turn on First at Olive Street, according to Santa Ana police.
