Brentwood, CA (April 27, 2024) – Authorities have released the name of a motorcyclist who was killed in a collision late last month in Brentwood. The victim, identified as 37-year-old Mark Rozell, was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to the Brentwood Police, Rozell was involved in a collision with another vehicle while traveling northbound. However, the exact circumstances of the crash weren’t clear. Rozell died at the scene and his 37-year-old passenger, a woman from Brentwood, was transported to the hospital with severe injuries. The driver of the other vehicle, who suffered minor injuries, was transported by ambulance to a hospital. She remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigation.

Hello, Mark Rozell was my assistant at my employment at Travelers. He was the best right hand man that an attorney could hope for. He was a great friend. I attended his wedding just 2.5 years ago. He will be greatly missed.
