Accident was at Ft. Apache and Hacienda, about 1/2 mile away from here. Reportedly ran his motorcycle into the back of a car at high speed.

Aerial Location...
Google Maps

I am sure LV Metro will publish a detailed report - area is closed for investigation.

Driving that route daily I would suggest some troublespots - a) Ft. Apache / Hacienda is a difficult intersection. b) Ft Apache in that area changes lane width several times due to neighboring construction.

Anyway, the news of Corrales death has been on the local Vegas news.

Not one of those fights were boring. Diego will be remembered forever by fight fans. It saddens me deeply when we lose one of our brothers like this. Rest In Peace. My prayers go out to his family and friends.

I feel like such an imbecile for not realising this until I was reading one of the entertainment newspapers around here... and it said that Chico died in a motorbike accident. I cannot ****ing belive it. By far one of the best boxers in recent years amongst a sport that was losing some of its spark... Chico had his personal problems but he also overcame them. He won many great fights, won many World Championships as a Super Featherweight and a Lightweight and I am absolutely gutted right now... I really am!

I cannot believe it! REST IN PEACE CHICO... your memory will always be with us... always my friend!:(

EDIT/NOTE: I really do wish I could change my name from White Tyson do something in relation to Diego "Chico" Corrales. His look and style reminded me a lot of Thomas "Hit Man" Hearns... great boxer... great character... I will miss him so ****ing much! RIP:(

Do you gusy realize that if it werent for the recent interested in boxing because of the superfight that just took place, chico's death would of probabley never made it past the las vegas news. Its pretty sad. Will always remember those castillo fights. Maybe this will spark something inside of castillo to whip hatton.
