34-year-old Motorcycle Rider Hospitalized after Collision with Pickup Truck in San Diego

SAN DIEGO, CA (December 22, 2018) – A 34-year-old male motorcyclist sustained serious injuries after crashing into a pickup in the 200 block of West San Ysidro Boulevard Tuesday afternoon.

According to the San Diego police, the collision occurred shortly before 5:20 p.m. Tuesday near Cottonwood Road.

The motorcyclist was riding a Honda 250R motorcycle westbound in the left lane of West San Ysidro Boulevard when a 57-year-old man driving a Dodge Ram pickup eastbound made a left turn onto northbound Cottonwood Road, in front of the motorcyclist. The motorcycle crashed into with the side of the pickup, officers said.

The rider of the motorcycle suffered serious, but non-life-threatening injuries, and was transported to a hospital. The driver of the pickup, who was not injured, remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigators.

The police ruled out intoxication as a contributing factor in the crash which is under investigation.

Motorcycle riders rarely escape injury when an accident occurs. If you are riding a motorcycle, do not underestimate the bike’s speed and strictly follow traffic laws and the conditions of the road. For other motorists, do not tailgate a motorcycle and maintain a safe following distance. Give motorcycles a full traffic lane when you pass and remember that they too have equal rights on the road.
