A North Hollywood girl was killed and her male companion was critically injured early Saturday when a motorcycle they were riding skidded and crashed into a tree, police said.
Alicia Sampson, 16, was riding on the back of the motorcycle with Collin Colberg, 18, at 2:50 a.m. when Colberg lost control of the motorcycle on Sepulveda Boulevard near Royal Oak Road, said Los Angeles Police Department Officer J. Timmons. The motorcycle struck a tree, and both riders were thrown from the vehicle, he said.
