A 22-year-old man was killed Wednesday evening when the motorcycle he was riding went out of control and struck a tree, the California Highway Patrol said.
The name of the victim, who was riding a 2010 Kawasaki ZX10, was not yet released. He was in the military and lived in Temecula, said CHP Officer Chris Parent.
The accident was reported about 5:50 p.m. on E. Mission Road just east of So. Stagecoach Lane.
Witnesses told the CHP that the man was riding east on East Mission Road at a high rate of speed and was passing traffic. Due to the unsafe speed, the rider failed to negotiate a left curve in the road and his bike collided nearly head-on with the tree, Parent said. Alcohol was not believed to be a factor in the crash, the CHP said.The road was closed for about 30 minutes following the accident. }
WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL. ALL MOTORCYCLISTS OUT THERE BEWARE. WE PASS AND WEAVE AND SPEED, AND IT COSTS US. OUR LIVES ARE NOT SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD HAVE TO JEPARDIZE. IT IS VERY HARD TO FATHOM THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU, BUT IT COULD AND MAY POSSIBLY, REGARDLESS OF FAULT.
BE CAREFUL ON THE ROADS, AND BE SAFE.
