SAN DIEGO, CA (June 15, 2018) – A man was killed Friday morning after his motorcycle collided with a vehicle near the Coronado Bay Bridge. 24-year-old Lt Mason Calhoun was later identified as the casualty in this tragic incident.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the deadly crash happened shortly before 9:30 AM on southbound I-5 near Cesar Chavez Parkway. A Harley-Davidson motorcycle, driven by Calhoun, was struck by a purple Chrysler PT Cruiser. The impact of the collision threw him onto the right shoulder of the freeway.
