SANTA ROSA -- The California Highway Patrol has found the vehicle that was involved in an accident that killed a motorcycle driver in Santa Rosa Tuesday night.

CHP Officer Kimberly Lemons said the male driver of the vehicle, a 1987 Acura Legend, is still being sought for questioning.

The vehicle is registered to the driver's sister and was found at her house at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Lemons said. The sister lives one-tenth of a mile from the accident scene, Lemons said.

The accident that killed 40-year-old Bryon Pokopowich of the Sebastopol area is considered a hit-and-run and probably resulted when the Acura driver made an unsafe left turn, Lemons said.

The CHP went house-to-house talking to neighbors who lived near the accident scene on Occidental Road at Barlow Road, Lemons said.

Even if Pokopowich's death was accidental, the driver should have remained at the scene, Lemons said, and the CHP wants to interview him.

Pokopowich was riding his Ducati motorcycle east on Occidental Road around 8 p.m. Tuesday when a westbound vehicle made a left turn onto Barlow Road, the CHP said. The vehicle went into the path of the motorcycle and Pokopowich was found in the road 500 feet from his motorcycle, the CHP said. He was declared dead at the scene.

Pokopowich was wearing full riding leathers and a full-face helmet and friends said he was an experienced rider, Lemons said.
