LOS ANGELES - A man was killed after he was seen doing stunts on his motorcycle on the 5 Freeway in the San Fernando Valley neighborhood of Arleta early Thursday morning, police said. 

Authorities received multiple calls about a group of motorcyclists filming while doing stunts and tricks on the northbound lanes of the 5 Freeway.
