SAN DIEGO, Calif. – As a motorcycle accident lawyer, I’m always saddened to hear about riders being injured in crashes. Yesterday, a 20-year-old motorcyclist suffered serious injuries in a collision with a vehicle in Ocean Beach. My thoughts are with the young man and his family as he recovers.
According to a report from the San Diego Police Department from today October 20, 2024 (via ABC 10News San Diego KGTV-TV), the accident occurred around 5:00 PM. This on Saturday in the area of Del Monte Avenue and Sunset Cliffs Boulevard.
The motorcyclist was riding a Harley-Davidson northbound in the southbound lanes of Sunset Cliffs Boulevard, apparently to pass backed-up traffic. A Honda CRV, stopped at the stop sign on Del Monte Avenue, proceeded eastbound and collided with the motorcycle.
The motorcyclist suffered a broken left femur, a dislocated right elbow, and multiple lacerations. These are serious injuries, and I hope he receives the best possible medical care.
It’s important to remember that motorcycles offer less protection than other vehicles, making riders more vulnerable in accidents. All drivers need to be extra vigilant and share the road responsibly with motorcyclists.
