Ex-Valencia drummer, Maxim Soria, died last night in a motorcycle accident in Pennsylvania. Soria had lost control of the cycle and hit a guard rail - you can read an article about his passing below:

A motorcycle accident in Warwick on Friday night claimed the life of Maxim Soria, a 2001 Central Bucks West graduate and former member of Philadelphia alternative rock band Valencia, said family members.

Soria, 28, was killed at about 6:15 p.m. when he lost control of his motorcycle on York Road, between Valley and Sugarbottom roads, police said. Officials believe Soria was traveling north on York Road when his motorcycle left the highway and struck a guide rail. He was dead when officers arrived on the scene.

Bucks County Coroner Dr. Joseph Campbell said Soria, of Point Pleasant Pike in Plumstead, was wearing a helmet. He died of multiple traumatic injuries.

Although toxicology reports are pending, Campbell said “everything points to this being an accidental death.”

Campbell said Soria’s driver’s license indicated he had only recently gotten his motorcycle license. Soria’s brother, Mel Soria, 30, also said Maxim had not been riding a motorcycle very long.

Soria was the drummer of Valencia from 2003 - 2009 and was on the band’s first two-full length album.

Everyone here at Shameless Media sends our condolences to his family and friends.
