Motorcyclist Hospitalized After Crash on Mission Gorge Road
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (Sept. 6, 2018) — A 25-year-old motorcyclist was seriously injured Wednesday night in a car accident near 6100 Mission Gorge Road, according to the San Diego Police Department.
The crash took place about 7:42 p.m. Police say the young man was riding his 2016 Kawasaki motorcycle northbound on Mission Gorge Road when a driver in a 2008 Volvo S40 pulled out of an El Polo Loco restaurant parking lot in front of the bike. The driver was attempting to make a left turn onto southbound Mission Gorge Road, but the two vehicles collided. The rider suffered major injuries including a fractured radius, fractured femur and other injuries. Paramedics took him to a hospital where he is expected to survive.
Meanwhile, the 68-year-old driver of the Volvo stopped and cooperated with the police investigation. It doesn’t appear that any charges have been filed at this point.
San Diego Police traffic Division is investigating the collision.
