Cops insisted that there were no signs of impairment of either driver.

Hours before the crash, the 29-year-old posted a photo of him on his motorcycle. "Night rider," he captioned the Instagram Story.

"Oh how I wish this smile was on my face and that infectious laugh was spewing out of my body right now…but sadly it’s not. Nic and I have decided to call it quits," Chrisley announced at the time, according to Page Six.

Kerdiles played in the NHL for four years, for multiple teams including the Anaheim Ducks. The NHL team posted a heartfelt message on Twitter following the news of his passing.

"We’re heartbroken to hear the news about Nic Kerdiles, who died in a motorcycle accident this morning. An Irvine native, Nic became the first player from Orange County to play for the Ducks, in 2017. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to his family and loved ones," the organization tweeted.
