LAKE ELSINORE, CA (June 23, 2019) – Authorities have identified Tina Coats, 51, as the woman who was killed in a motorcycle crash Sunday morning in Lake Elsinore.
 
The crash happened around 10:50 a.m. on Highway 74 near El Cariso Road.

Zawicki traveled westbound when he made a complete stop due to an earlier crash. After that, as they sat on the idle bike, a 2015 Yamaha motorcycle and a 2018 Ducati motorcycle rounded a bend.
