Bahati Foundation rider Jorge Alvarado was tragically killed while training in California on Thursday, Rahsaan Bahati revealed on his Facebook page.

The accident occurred at 9:52 a.m. near Greenspot and Santa Ana Truck Roads and police closed the road for most of the day as they investigated the accident.

Alvarado was originally from Mexico and was one of five amateur riders added to the Bahati Foundation team for the 2010 season.
